Thinking of
Selling my rifles, I gun hunted a little last year but always had the feeling I should be bowhunting - If I sell them I can get a 334 and a few other things may need for the season
It is a serious addiction and after 22 years it is getting "worse"

RE: Thinking of
brk...
I never rifle hunted deer.....and don't have anything against it. It's just not for me. I don't think I ever will.
I hunted turkeys with a shotgun....and took my first one with a bow, this past Spring (today IS the first day of Summer!). I don't think I'll ever hunt aturkey with a shotgun, again.
Nothing wrong with gun hunting....just not for me....and I understand FULLY what you're saying. If this thread goes anywhere near bashing gun hunting....it'll be a shame.
I might take up slingshot hunting one day and put the bow down. Hell I don't know.

Even though you may never use them to hunt again, I would discourage anyoen from selling off thier guns unless it was a particular one thatjust didn't shoot well or you really disliked.

RE: Thinking of
Exactly Jeff, I took several deer before ever taking one with a rifle - the feeling wasn't the same no emotions or rush of adrenaline
Nothing wrong with hunting with rifles just doesn't do anything for me - have a few people look at me when it is the middle of rifle season and I pull my bow out - looks like we can use our bows during MZLd this year as well
But to each their own more power to you

Agree with you rybo. I play guitar....and I wish I had back every one I ever sold....without exception. I only have the Benelli, now.....but I wish I had kept all the shotguns through the years, too.
Great advise (j/k)....lol. Great ADVICE.
