RE: Who here strictly bowhunts?
 

Here in Illinois bow only for deer so far my third season. Although I just bought my first shotgun and will go next year. Rifle at my in-laws in Miss. I've been so close but no cigar to getting anything yet. I'm hoping this weekend that'll change.

Strictly a bowhunter. I've only once pointed a gun at an animal and that was a dying dog.[&o]

Bowhunting only for me also. Brought my shotgun along with during our shotgun season, but it never came out of the case, bowhunted only.

Bow only here as well. Took up hunting last year- '03 after a 20 year hiatus and decided I enjoyed the bow more. Have yet to be successful but still trying and enjoying it.

No way for me. I respect all the answers above, and I love to go try with my bow during bow season, but when I don't fill the tag - out comes the rifle for opening day. I love seeing, stalking and hunting antelope and mulies at a distance in the wide open country. BUT - no more rifle elk hunting. Elk herd up and therefore so do the rifle hunters.

Nice post and answers.
