I'm dressed as a pumpkin with my longbow right now. But I'm in a tree, not on the ground. I still like to hunt, but something yes just not the same for me as during bow season. Deer on high alert, getting chased from here to there and back again. But I have passed shots at deer i didn't want this weekend, so it certainty can be done.

Yes, I do all time. I stalked and shot this decent buck a few years back during the gun season on BLM land.
I shot this doe and spike out of a blind set up by a good trail last weekend. This was on private ground. The guns were going off all around, and the deer were moving.

Shot him last week during the gun time. Admittedly, Wyoming is somewhat different than New York in hunter numbers. But, if we are going to hunt deer in the rut, it will always be when the gun guys are out.

I just put in 2 days with a patch and ball slinger. The whole time I felt naked without my longbow. The really weird part was not stump shooting on the way back. The rest of the year it is bow on the ground.
The thick little overlooked spots shine right now.

I always take the bow out a couple of evenings during my week at deer camp for fireams season. Mainly when we don't want to travel the long distance to the swamp and we hunt behing the chicken coops for Sika. Bows don't scare chickens.

I'll be out with the stick bow. Have shot two bucks now in the "gun" season. Both off the ground.

Every Sunday for sure, they just opened up archery only on Sunday last year, and any then time I hit my little private land honey holeher across from the house. The deal I have with the landowner is archery only....

New law in wisconsin is you can use any lesser weapon during gun season, as bow, muzzleloader or crossbow, as long as you have and use a firearms tag.

I was desperate and filled my freezer full of some fine eating with a classic rifle this past weekend.My family does enjoy venison and my hunting has been limited this year. Im not apologizing, I had a great time but now Im getting back to taking it easy and smelling the roses with a Griffin in hand.

I wish we could but they close the archery season for a one week shotgun/muzzle loader season here. I HATE it, they get the prime week and the deer take a pounding.

I could in Ontario where I live but I feel safer not going out the week the pumpkin army is out in the bush. Lots of bow season left here, open until Dec. 31/12.

Last week I really think I was suffering from depression. Firearms season opened a week ago last Sat. I have a couple real nice bucks I've been seeing only on camera and felt I was closing in, especially as this is the time to catch them moving in daylight. Then the guns start going off and everything changes. I've seen a five pointer and a total of 7 does since then. Really was getting me down. Only thing I can do is hang in there and figure some of them have made it. General gun season ends this Tues, then we get a week and a half of gun antlerless, then a week after that muzzleloader season opens for 9 more days. I hate it!

I just got a decent 9 point buck yesterday on our opener here in Oklahoma. I have found gun season to be one of the best times to be out. They are pressured, yes and the giants tend to go nocturnal, but the rut is on.

I hunt with my bow no matter what other weapons are legal to use in a particular season.

Yes, I hunt with my bow all through the rifle season. I do get some funny looks, when I encounter rifle hunters in the field. Lots of fun.
