My dad was a big bowhunter til I was born. Then he went strictly rifle so I could hunt with him. As soon as I got big enough to draw back 35 pounds, we both started back bow hunting. By highschool I was mostly bow hunting only. I don't think I've killed but maybe 5 or 6 deer with a rifle in the last 10 years. I did pretty much quit deer hunting all together for a while, because of duck hunting.
