Strictly bow only for the last 25 years for all big game, small game, and upland birds ... but sometimes shotgun for ducks and geese.

For many years now I have only hunted with the bow. Still own firearms, just don't hunt with them. I do hunt all season possible with the bow.

I have only used a bow for big game hunting for over 40 years. Only use a shotgun for birds and ducks.

Don't even own a fire-arm but my kids have them.

Still will guide hunters with firearms and actually used one when both waterfowl guiding and hunting years back.

My decision is purely my perception of personal enjoyment and fulfillment. Grew up in an environment where there was a firearm parked in one corner of every room. I still have the fear that some child may be harmed and besides that I have never been fond of loud noises.

I haven't taken a rifle into the field after big game in about ten years. Nothing against it, I just love archery hunting too much. I have thrown on my orange hat and hunted rifle season with my bow though  ;)

Nope, not me. My passions are traditional bowhunting, nitro express rifles and the odd stylish single-shot flat-shooter for some jobs.

I am hunting bow only, the one exveption I will make is if I can get a kid into the woods I will go during gun season on our own land only. Other than that bow only for me.

I have been for the last 7 years or so, I do have a 10 year old that won't shoot his bow and wants to use a gun, this may have me picking up a firearm again.

I own 8 pointers and my hobby is birddog training so I do a lot of shotgun hunting but my second love is my longbow. I do hunt with my sidelock percussion .54 GPR and plan on getting a flintlock next year.
I dont hunt with my modern rifles anymore but if the opportunity called for it I dont have a problem with using one.

I've killed a lot more deer with my bow than with the rifles.

I just plain love to hunt!

I'm getting close. I hunt with an old classic rifle when my son asks me to. I don't let him know but I just don't get pumped with the anticipation of rifling a deer anymore. Even so, Id hunt with grenades if it means I get to spend time alone with my boys.

I've been a Bow only hunter since 1990, but actually I'm thinking of adding spears and tomahawks into the picture.   :bigsmyl:
