Is it just me - 01/12/17 08:08 AM
Now let me start out by saying that I am not opposed to deer hunting with a rifle or m/l. The fact is I got my start in deer hunting with firearms and dogs many years ago. As it stands at this point in my life though I would not walk out my back door to shoot a 200 inch deer with a gun. I have no desire to hunt deer with anything but my bow. I will not even watch gun hunting on T.V. My brother volunteered to take my 11 and 12 year old grandsons and let them kill their first deer with a gun and I told him I was going to teach them how to deer hunt when they could pull the legal poundage to bow hunt. I honestly have come to the point in my hunting experience that when the time comes that I can't climb a tree with my climber or pull my bow back I'm gonna hook to my boat and go crappie fishing. P.S. I now have both grandsons pulling legal poundage and learning how to scout and about proper stand placement. The oldest one is actually already doing some hunting.
