I bow hunt year round and I have to say I've learned a lot doing it cause there so many times I'm forced to have to sit and watch em cause there out of range and it's made me more patience and a better hunter but it is aggervating to sit and watch a good buck chase a doe right outside of bow range

I haven’t carried a rifle in two years.. I haven’t killed a deer in two years either but that’s ok. Since I’ve srstted bow hunting I’ve definitely gotten better as a hunter and I’ll contribute that to hunting public land as well. My sightings have gone up I just haven’t been able to get in the right position and get it done.

I've bowhunted 98% of the time since 1975. I have come to live with it..lol
It is aggravating sometimes but just part of it.

I don't strictly bow hunt, but I bow hunt more than I gun hunt. However, some of my reasoning is because the majority of my hunting occurs on a military base and we have a set hunt schedule: This year there are 13 gun days and 54 bow days (and it's heavily backloaded, the last of January into February will be basically all bow hunting).

But even back in my private land days I would often hunt with my bow throughout the season (situational). Suppose we had some water oaks dropping late, or a small food plot, I'd often take my bow and go hunt stuff like that.

I bowhunt all season long for the most part. I might take my muzzleloader on occasion but very seldom. I honestly dont find any challenge or reward for that matter going out and sitting in shooting house and squeezing the trigger, unless I am taking a kid out for a hunt and then that is totally different situation. But, I will say that the older I get, bow hunting can become a challenge when those temps get down in the 20's knowing how warm one of those houses would be.

The only time I gun hunt is in the rain. I'm just not going to kill a deer that I never find due to a washed out blood trail.

If i'm deer hunting i'm bowhunting. It doesnt matter about the weather or stage of the rut or the property i'm hunting. Just my preference.

The last 5 bucks I've shot with a gun were in bow range. After the last one, my biggest, I switched to bow only. Started last season, which was cut short due to injury, and I've stuck with it so far this season. Now when I'm on private land or gun hunt on WMA I normally carry my bow and an AR/AK in case hogs or yotes show up; I want more than 4 arrows if those trashy things show up.

depends on my location. We have a lot of clearcuts so i break out the rifle for those, and hogs


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

I’ve killed 3 bows, all on public land.
