RE: Once it a lifetime buck

I bow hunt all of the time during gun season. Yes some areas are bow only but a lot of my areas I could use a gun. However when I look back all of those years of gun hunting there was only a handful of deer I couldn't shoot with a bow. I would say less then 4 or 5. So I don't gun hunt anymore, I only bow hunt.

Good for you. I have to admit that once I started bow hunting, rifle season just didn't hold the same excitement to me. I still rifle hunt but in the big mountains in northern PA where bow hunting would be futile. Those mountain deer are very wild and once they get a little pressure on them it is highly unlikely that you get one in bow range. Alot of mature open woods and I swear that they can spot you even if you don't move and are hiding behind a tree! As far as not being legal to bow hunt in gun season, that just doesn't make any sense at all. You can bow hunt any season in PA. You are only limiting yourself so why would that be illegal? Can't find the rationale in that.
