I haven't pulled the trigger on my ruger in a couple of years and I don't intend to this year. I truly get very little satisfaction out of killing a deer with my rifle. Just a personal preference, but the Hoyt will be with me at all times this year.

for the most part i'll hunt with a gun. i don't want to pass up a chance at kentucky whitetails during the rut. but i may still use my bow for a doe or something.

I also phased out gun hunting and now use my bow for all the deer seasons. I've taken bucks every year for the last 3 or 4 seasons during MZL season and last year half of the deer i took (3 out of six) were taken during firearms season using a bow. When I got to the checking station on opening morning of gun season last year with 2 deer (an 8 point and a 5 1/2 year old doe) it created quite a stir--esp when they found out I used a bow.

After picking up the bow, I think I will put the gun down for a while.

Bowhunting in bow season, shotgunning in shotgun/rifle season, too many deer moving too fast for a bow during shotgun...i've tried.
