RE: Just Bowhunt?
Right now I bow hunt only.
Of the 12 seasons of hunting, I have only carried a gun in one season. And then I didn' t even shoot anything. Had the mind set of bowhunting and wouldn' t take a shot that would have been no problem for a gun.

In 1997 I bought my first bow and a new 30-30 rifle. I now have seven bow kills and the rifle has still never been in the woods. Turkey hunting is still predominantly with my Mossberg but I have started to try with the bow.

I strictly bowhunt for deer. My wife got mad at me about four or five years ago because she said I hunted all the time but hardly ever killed anything. I got aggrevated with her, so I blew the dust off my .270 and proceeded to kill a deer my next five times out. She now appreciates why I bowhunt.

RE: Just Bowhunt?
I started out in the 60' s doing both but have been strictly bowhunting now for about 25 years. I have no problem gun hunting and own both a rifle and a muzzleloader but just end up with the bow when the season is over. Being in PA I' m looking forward to seeing what the antler restriction has done to the buck in my area, maybe I can take a really good one like you guys that live in the mid-west!

I also hunt with a gun & bow. But I rather be out in archery season any day. If it' s possible I try to fill all my tags in archery! Although there is nothing like the sound of a gun shot close to you on a cold morning & then the sound of deer running towards you! Still I' d rather take them with the bow! More of a challenge!!
