Gun Vs. Bow
#11
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.

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.

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!
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.
