Gun hunter, handgun hunter, and bow hunter! The common thread is " hunter!"
I' ll probably take up muzzleloaders too, whenever Texas lets you take more than does and spikes!
As I said, the common thread is we are " hunters," and just a reminder here....
we all stick together, or we fall one at a time!

I' ve hunted Bow and Gun in the past. I haven' t bow hunted in the last several years though.We had planed on bow hunting this year but we didn' t make it after all.Next weekend in GA Black Powder season opens. I' ll be there for that.I bought a crossbow at the end of last season. It' s still in the sealed factory box.I prefer rilfes,muzzleloaders,handguns,shotguns and bow in that order.

Vapodog,
What grain of hatchet would you use?

RE: Gun Vs. Bow
 

I like to gun hunt and shoot guns but bowhunting is my passion. I' ve been bowhunting now for 22 yrs and will continue to do so as long as i can pull one back. I gun hunt some but i bowhunt more and do a lot of bowhunting during gun season. If there comes a time that o can' t pull a bow back i' d probably look into getting a cross bow, although it wouldn' t be the same to me it would still give me more time in the field.

Bowhunter first and formost, just gun hunt to top off my season. Then muzzleload hunt to finish it off before serious duck hunting

My passion is bow hunting but I will pickup a rifle. However sometimes I will bow hunt during rifle season (legal here). I always have my bow with me!

Bowhunting is tops for me. I do like taking out the gun and trying different types of guns to take a deer with, but archery is still tops. For all other game besides deer, I use guns.

Grandma can shoot a deer with a gun!:D

Seriously, I use them all in the appropriate seasons. Some big buck setups just work better with a gun. I still like to take the bow alot in gun season though. It' s just more of a challenge. On the other hand, it' s impossible to shoot a deer with a bow at 300 yards...or 200.. or even 100. So if you can' t get real close, the gun is the way to go.
