RE: If you had to make a choice.
I'd have to say bowhunting since I just started bowhunting. Someone else said something about visiting (can'tremember howhe spelledcomraderie)with friends during gun season and that's a big part it, too.

Give up the bow
Give up the bow
Seriously would keep the gun. Bowhunting may be up close and in person but sitting in a box watching the bucks running the girls on a cold crisp morning, nothin like it. You may be able to see some bowhunting but sitting over a big open field, see so much more and can really enjoy it rather than worrying about spooking a single doe near ur stand.

For one, I don't gun hunt, so I'd give up the gun because there are times I may have to go gun hunting if we need meat. Bow hunting is too fun and awesome to give up.

No way in hell am I going to give up my Bow. If and when I get to the point I can no longer pull it back with ease...I can always use a crossbow. Just my opinion.

I chose the bow....not that I would give up either....but I love the family time I get with 15-20 guys in camp.... none of them do much bow hunting, andI just love being around the uncles and cousins to much.

RE: If you had to make a choice.
I tip my hat to those who said they would keep their bows.
I hunt both but I am also a meat hunter and my odds for success increase with my rifle.
That's especially true hunting with lower deer numbers that we have as compared to other states/provinces.
Those who say they shoot as many deer with a bow as compared to other hunters usinga rifle, may find it difficult to keep that success rate in NH.
