I've bowhunted only for about the last 20 years. I don't have anything against guns or the people that do hunt with them but it's just not for me.

I love shooting guns. A lot of negitive things about gun season, but a chance to shoot a gun and not do it... something wrong with that IMO. Almost unamerican if you ask me.

I'll speak up in the Minority.

I Bowhunt
I Rifle Hunt
I Blackpowder Hunt
I shotgun hunt for small game & Crows
I carry a .22 for Squirrels

My passion is Bowhunting and I'll pick it up again when our short Gun season is over.
I don't gun hunt (Deer)in my home State of Ohio. Thats strictly Bow.
I spend the Rifle season in PA at our family Camp with friends and relatives. This year I'll be carrying a .50 Cal inline.

I don't discriminate .... I am a legal law-abiding Sportsman.

I get the same strange looks....... There have been at least 5 different really nice bucks within 50 yards of me this year, well within gun range, but, there I sit with my bow.

I should probably take the 12 up the tree with me for this holiday weekend but, my bow will be there as well. If I get one that hangs out 50-60 yards I will have an option. I have not hunted deer with a gun since '94.

The last time I rifle hunted wasfive years ago, when I was 15. That rifle season I shot a doe, dropped her in her tracks, and did not feel excited at all. This really uspet me and I didn't know why. I've bowhunted/shot bow since I was thirteen and have killed nine deer, with archery tackle. No matter what I shoot a rush comes over me and I litterally need to sit down. That is why I stopped rifle hunting (because after a few kills, I didn't get that rush) and I have a feeling if I loose that with bow hunting (I'm sure I never will) I won't partake in that either.

I do however love my browning Citori O/U and shooting some roosters!
