Hunting with your bow in gun season.

[Dave Lay]

stickbow only for 20 years or so. Get a lot of ????????????? from folks that just dont understand. Like dont you know its gun seson? and folks offering to loan a gun 'cause they think ya are to poor to even afford a compound let alone a rifle....and have to shoot that old timey stuff.. we are WAY in the minority. around here anyway.

Have killed many Texas deer during the gun season hunting with my bow. Havn't hunted with a gun for at least eight years. Hunting public land now with my longbow. Passed on a little doe and a fork horn buck so far this year. Hope to do some damage the next couple of days.

I have a buddy coming into town for the week of Thanksgiving.  We'll get out after some squirrels or something and I told him I'd be hunting with my bow.  He was trying to sort out, well if I use this gun and your son uses that one, couldn't you use the other one?  

Lol - I think the real issue is that some folks make the mistake in thinking that the objective of the hunt is a pile of meat at the end of it.  I'm pretty sure the objective of the hunt is to enjoy the hunt itself (which I do best with my bow).  Killing something, is part of it, but it's (at least a bit of) a pain in the butt.

Hunting is the thing!

I like to bowhunt during gun. Only problem i have had in the past few years is on Game land. I will not hunt on game land with gun hunters. I have been shot at. If you want tell anyone i know of some game land that is bow only and there are plenty of P&Y bucks. Its just across the road from the commandos in camo.

I bowhunted exclusively for about ten years, then my daughter wanted to rifle hunt and then a son picked up the rifle too.

I'm sure glad I didn't tell them that I wouldn't hunt with them because they wanted to use a rifle. I would have missed out on some wonderful times with the most important people in my life, besides my wife.

To the question at hand...yep, have had a lot of fun hunting with a bow during rifle season!
