Bowhunt only for deer and turkeys. I do use a shotgun for pheasants, grouse and quail.

Bow only for deer. Shotgun for turkey and waterfowl.

I haven't become proficient enough with the bow yet to take it to the marshes.

I shot one deer with a gun in 1988 and tried bow hunting the following year and never looked back. I guess that makes it 16 years now (damn, getting old). I will be bow only on any big game I ever decide to pursue including turkey. I did shoot one rabbit last year with a shotgun but I like the idea of using only the bow on small game as well.

I am Strickly A Bowhunter Only
Although I did go out on the 2nd Illinois Shotgun Season with my husband so I could Video Tape him getting a Deer with his Muzzelloader.... and I did shaperon my son when he was smaller on his First Muzzleloader deer hunt ( he was Muzzleloader hunting not me )
I gun Hunted once when I was dateing a Sheriff and he introduced me to gun hunting back in the 1980's......... but never really caught the Hunting Bug until I was introduced to Bowhunting by my husband ...... now I am a Bowhuntingaholic

I bowhunt 99.8% of the time. However, I have gun hunted a couple of times in the last 5 years so I can't say that I strictly bowhunt.

Bow only for all big game thus far! I'll take the .243 out for Coyote & Fox. This year I think we're going to try bow with a rifle back up for yotes. Shot gun for Pheasant, Partridge, Ducks, and Geese. Haven't hunted Fox for a few years because theres hardly any around!

I only big game hunt with a bow, I don't own a rifle. Never saw the need. But for those of you that do rifle hunt also, have fun with which ever toy you play with.

As of right now I am 100% bowhunter.

Next year I might shotgun hunt if I am allowed to go where my dad goes. But as of now and for the last 12 years, only a bow.
