I still carry mine some. Not on every hunt now but depending on where I'm hunting I will carry it. Another member of aldeer is threatening an on-site prank on me if I don't get my first bow kill soon so I'm trying to get it done. crazy

I'm not even sure if my rifle could hit my truck at 100 yards. I'm a stick and string dude from October until February.

I've gun hunted two times, other than that it's been my bow.

Have not picked up the gun yet. Been fortunate enough to have 2 does and a buck so far. Kinda wish I would of had my gun yesterday, had a decent shooter just out of range but that's the way it goes! I'll probably pick up the gun eventually.

I've still doing a mix of both. I'm going to take my bow out this week since I can't take a doe with a rifle, and my parents want a deer for themselves.

I've bow hunted all but one hunt this year. I still carry my gun for some stands but I will probably bow hunt more than 50% of my hunts from now through the end of season.

Bow mostly for me. Took the gun one time last week for a quick hunt before work. It just depends on the situation (weather, etc). Im 95% bow until mid January, but I'm thinking seriously about bow hunting all year. Can't kill a P&Y buck if you have the gun!

Not doing much (or any so far) hunting this year, but when I was in the club, I carried bow pretty much all season unless it was rainy or I had my son with me, in which case I'd sit in a shooting house.

I will be until I go as a guest to a friends place in late January. There I'll probably use my rifle a few sits and my bow the rest of the time.

I took my bow last Monday and had one of my shooters come out at 50 yards about 15 minutes before it got to dark to see my pins, I've never regretted taking my bow so much. He'd be a goner if I would have had my rifle

I was bow-only for over 20 years. When time got short and I wanted to increase my odds for meat in the freezer, I grabbed the ML for 2 years. I ended up shooting a couple within bow range. Screw gunpowder this year.

I decided to put my bow up because I was determined to get at least 2 deer this year. The first day I go out with my rifle, I had 4 big fat does around me all within 30 yards, 1 was at 5. I still shot one, but now I'm bringing the bow again. It just wasn't as fun or exciting.

Yep. A bowhunters mind and stand placement is way above a gun hunters. beers Bowhunters are wired in the head differently.

bow so far, will take the gun in the rut. the majority of my stands are placed for bow hunting. I have been know to carry both during the rut, just in case.


Anything worth doing, is worth doing right, or it's not worth doing at all!

I carry a bow all season, Oct. 15th - 2/10. I haven't carried a rifle to the woods since 2009. Only have 2 bow kills so far to my credit, therefore still learning all the ins and outs of bow hunting. I love it! And....only hunting public land now. Just trying to stay dedicated to the sport.
