RE: Anybody bowhunt exclusively?
I layed down my rifle 3 yrs ago and picked up a bow for the first time. I have picked up the rifle to hunt since, nor have I killed a deer with my bow. I have absolutly nothing against gun hunting I just enjoy the challenge of the bow. After I kill that big buck that I've been waiting on for 3yrs I might pick back up the rifle. Actually, I have a new Knight muzzleloader that I'm itching to try out!

Hunt only with the bow:elk, deer, turkey, coyote,bear, etc.........
I still own a 30.06, 300 mag., 22-250, 250 savage, etc................But it's been so long, I wouldn't have any idea where the key to the gun cabinet it!

I do rifle hunt, but probably will be doing mostly bow hunting for a while since I am going to start putting in for better areas for rifle hunts the draw success is low.

After bowhunting deer at 20 yards, who would think about shooting one with a gun at 100 yards. There is just no fun in shooting something that does not have a chance....and you do not have to put that much effort into it...

Well I'm in a huge dilema guy's I still have my gun's and can't make up my mind whether to sell them or keep them but I also love my bow hunting better we took a 1200lb bull moose this year with a bowand Ihad deer everywhere around me this season and I'm now hooked .So as you see I just can't see me using my firearms in the future so maybe I'll leave them in the locker, and give it another year to decide the fate of my firearm's.I hunted turkey's last season with a bow and I plan on hunting them again this season with my bow as well.
