Why do you use the weapon you use for hunting?

I use a bow to hunt with. I choose to hunt with a bow because it is more of a challenge.

I choose to hunt bow too reather then gun. Mostly because its more of a challenge, you need the animals in alot closer and timeing to be right. So IMO personally a bow is the best choice because theres more skill involved instead of jus letting lead fly at 250 yards. (I know people who do that.)

i use both depending on what im going after for deer i prefer a bow and muzzloader in the later season
for turkey i use a gun because its hard enough shooting one wwith a gun let alone abow for ducks i use a recurve because im such a good shot like byron ferguson.

I grew up hunting with guns and although its a challenge itself, i wanted to challenge myself more so i got into bow hunting and i haven't touched a gun since, aside from dove hunting

I choose the weapon that is legal for the season that I'm hunting in , and one that I have confidence with . I won't go afield with an unfamiliar weapon .

Bow. I just enjoy the challenge. Muzzleloader is a close second.
