If you had to make a choice.
 
This is a hypothetical question about hunting deer

If you had to make a choice. Would you give up deer hunting with a bow or deer hunting with a gun (includes muzzleload)?

Give up the bow

Give up the gun

Personally, I would give up the gun... I just love to hunt with the bow.

I basically made that decision eight years ago. I went back to the bow so that
[ol][*]longer season[*]hunt closer to home[*]lose the orange army[*]greater sense of satisfaction for me personally [/ol]

Never the gun, I only hunt with a bow because i can get in the woods sooner.

Actually I'm not ready to give up either, but if I had to make the decision, then I would have to give up bow hunting. I just love gun hunting. I know it's not as "sporting" as bow hunting, but it's just as enjoyable. I do love bow hunting, but there will come a day when I just can't do it anymore, you know the age thing. I doubt I will go to the crossbow when that time comes. Anyway, I have too many guns to quit gun hunting. I only have one bow, so that's an easy choice.:)

I don't own a rifle and have no ambition to kill a deer with a rifle so it was a pretty easy decision for me.
