This is my first year bowhunting. I have been rifle hunting since I was 11 I am 27 now. I have always heard once you start bowhunting that rifle hunting just isnt much fun anymore. Well rifle season starts next weekend and I see no reason to hang up my bow. Besides I still havent gotten a kill.

I am just curious how many of you guys still rifle hunt. Or is it pretty much strictly bowhunting for you. I feel like I might take a couple of does towards the end of the season with my rifle if I have not tagged out yet just to help our ratio, but other than that I will have my bow in hand this season.

I still rifle hunt, but theres nothing like bowhunting. Both rifle and bow hunting make my heart pound and thats all that matters.

I'd hunt em with a paintball gun if the regulations allowed it.

I bowhunt more than anything...because the season is longer. I consider myself a bowhunter first and foremost, but unlike some, I don't look down upon anybody's (legal) method of hunting. It's all hunting...

that's greatness.

As for the rifle thing, I haven't shot a deer with one in 3 years. I just like being face to face with the animals. There is nothing like bowhunting for sure.

rifle,slug gun, inline,flintlock, and since I cant physically operate a bow I use a x-bow

I still hunt firearms season in NY, but its not so important if I get skunked anymore. Theres usually a few in the freezer already by mid Nov.

I live in Michigan and this year is the first year I am allowed to hunt with a Rifle/Shotgun. I am excited, yet I love the competition a bow brings to me. I have been hunting with my bow since the legal age of 12 in Michigan and got a doe my first year and a 5-point last year! I am excited of this years rifle season and I am wondering what it will make me think of bowhunting? Good luck to everyone tonight!! ~ Halloween night is a lucky night ~

I still rifle hunt if I have tags left. I have started getting creative to make it more fun, 1st it was a pistol caliber lever action rifle, now it will be trying to take a deer with a revolver.

I will never give up my rifles or my hunting handguns. I love to reload for my guns and hunting with what I make is every bit as satisfying as taking one with my bow.

Kinda hard to rifle hunt when you don't gots a rifle. Some slug kicked in my door and stole all my guns about 20 years ago. I never replaced 'em because I started going broke buying bows.
