All my bowhunting is with a bow. Trying to wean myself away from hunting firearms though. I'll always have my guns! Until they pry my cold, dead fingers from around them. I never plan to take a bow to a gun fight if me or mine is threatened!

I love bowhunting, but come rifle season, I love rifle hunting. Come turkey season, only shotgun and so on....

Never ever hunted with a gun. Only longbows and recurves. IMO guns are for protecting life and liberty not for making meat.

I have lots of guns because I like them. But I only deer hunt with a gun because I want to hunt with my dad and he doesnt archery hunt, also it gives me another month to hunt.

I used to but then I hurt my shoulder patting myself on the back.

I have a fishing rod-just in case!

I would use anything available but anything I hunt coincides with archery deer season so the first love rules.

Imo guns are a vital tool for harvesting meat. i use my rifle for all of my tags, then go bowhunting for all my proxy tags. have to put as much meat away as quick as possible. with the price of diesel, every trip to the islands, we go to drag out as many as possible. the rifle to me is a harvesting tool, my bow is for pure outside hunting persuit joy.

Nothing but recurves and longbows. Forgot to mention we have a small freezer!

Getting ready to give my muzzleloader to a friend for Christmasm will only hunt bunnies w/shotgun unless theres snow on the ground then will use a bow, squrrel hunt w/scoped .22, all Ive used since I was about 14 other then scoped high end air rifles...all my deer hunting from here on out will be with a recurve/longbow, hate toting a heavy a#! gun around and dont like the noise in the deer woods anymore. Will more then likely get another .223 to thin out our ever growing yote poulation though.

I would hope so, don't want to get caught bowhunting with a gun.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I have completely lost interest in my firearms. I do, however, keep a .45 around the house for varmints.

I like my woods quiet.

Know what you mean John - that hurts!
It's all good - and enjoyable to more then a few.

Steve - love my White inlines too.

I just cant only hunt with a bow, I love guns and bows equally!, I love my little ruger markII 22 pistol, I sometimes carry it for plinking after my morning hunt or if a squirrel is out of bow range

Archery only for me . I gave up gun hunting and sold my guns 3 or 4 years ago.

Aeronut · « **Reply #38 on:** December 14, 2007, 06:45:00 PM »

Archery only for my deer hunting but I do have an assortment of other equipment for other hunts if they arise.

Bow for squirrel, rabbit, deer. Only hunt the opening weekend with rifle for deer. Coyotes with bow and rifle, shotgun.
