I haven’t hunted with a gun for any species since it became legal to use a bow during the deer firearm season in Wisconsin a few years back.

No, I enjoy carrying a rifle now and then. It's been a family tradition since I started in 1967. Not many in the family left, so my son and I keep it going.

Last year I hunted only with a bow. The year before I hunted with an old .303 Savage 99, just because I wanted to shoot a deer with that old classic. So it depends. I generally enjoy bowhunting more.

I gave up my guns in the 90's for deer hunting. In Georgia, we have a 4 month long deer season, and you can bowhunt the entire time.

I've hunted with family the opening of firearms season for as long as I can remember. 2 days and then back to the bow by myself for the rest of the year.

I hunt with my bow throughout the season. I do like runnin and gunnin for spring turkey on  public land though.

Yep, I’m a bowhunter.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

I do more than I don't, when I don't it's with one of the Flintlocks that I've made, or a Ruger No. 1 single shot. I only get one shot no matter what I hunt with.

Been doing that for 30 years. Can't tell when the last time I shot a gun was.

Here in IA bow season is closed during gun season.

It's closed in MO also, but you can hunt with bow if you buy a firearms tag.
Stay sharp, Kenny.

Mostly bow nowadays, but depends on how my season is going. I also go with my son for a couple days with rifle. He doesn’t bow hunt and only gets 4-5 days to hunt during gun season. Haven't even taken the ML out in years, opting for the bow.
