I carry the bow until middle of January. When everyone starts bringing bucks in I can't stand it! I really try to go bow all season.

Recurve or long bow only for everything I hunt (deer and turkey). Actually Ive never even hunted with a gun or a compound so I cant relate to what its like. Probably relate to compound more. All I know is, there isnt anything thing better than drawing a stick bow on a deer at 10 yardswell, maybe one other thing!

Aint had good places to rifle hunt in a long time, and ive always been sucessful on public land an i found that bowhunting opened alot more doors as far places to hunt. I like to rifle hunt..just dont get to much...i aint shot mine in awhile they dont shoot straight anyway. I think ive carried a gun bout 5 times in 5 years.

I use a compound during bow season and switch to gun after gun season opens. I'm not a purist. Hats off to you that are. That's me, I like bow hunting, but I don't love it enough to walk past that rifle on November 18.

my first/only bow kill was on the opening day of gun season a few seasons back. The other guys in the club I was in looked at me like I was nuts when we started out the door that afternoon and I had my bow in-hand. I will continue to hunt with my bow periodically throughout the season, depending on conditions.
My other goal for the season is to kill a deer with my first deer rifle - a remington 710 30-06. My dad bought it for me when I was maybe 14 or 15ish.....I have never killed a deer with that gun. I've killed plenty with a couple of other rifles, but never that one, so that's goal numero uno for this season.

I enjoy bowhunting and appreciate it for what it is, but I get just as much enjoyment toting a rifle with me. It's basically a way for me to get in the woods a month before gun season starts.

Im bow only until the rut, which is late January for me.
As far as turkeys, I like shooting them in the face with a shotgun too much to take the bow.
If you're too busy to hunt or fish.... You're too busy

Started bow hunting deer in 2015, haven't picked up a rifle since. I cant say I wouldnt enjoy gun hunting because Ive never done it. I can say after being up close and personal with my bow and killing deer with arrows I made, I probably wouldnt enjoy it as much. I just dont think it would/could compare in excitement for me.
