Default Archery only?

I was wondering if anyone else hunts archery only land? I hunt state land where it's bowonly, and I like it like that. It keeps pressure waaay down. Anybody else?

The 160 acres I hunt on is only hunted by my brother and I and his wife, we all are strictly bow hunters. The neighboring land owners are all shotgun and muzzle loader hunters.

our area is pretty much bow only, we will hunt during firearm season, but usually by then its only for a trophy buck, which doesn't come along every gun season.....

If I had my own place, I'm pretty certain gun season would be for "monsters only" so really bow only for the most part....

Most of my county is Bow only, I have a spot in the gun/bow zone but only hunt it with the bow.

Two public areas I hunt are bow only.You are not allowed to bowhunt them during gun season either so it gives the deer a little break.

I did here in Oklahoma, the hunting was great, they have a few bow only areas here on post mainly because they are near residental areas or near the highway.

There are 4 counties in WV that are bow only but I've never hunted them.
