Title: Bows or hunts
Post by: Dan bree on June 17, 2014, 12:36:00 PM
I can't help it. If I had the money I spent on bows it would have made a great hunt somewhere !   But little time to go someware  I in joy my bows and hunt in state. And go to shoots how about you?

At this point I'd go bows as well. Hunting spots are still OK for me w/o spending a bunch of $$$

I'm at the point where I'd rather put the money towards an out of state hunt somewhere.  I used to have a bunch of bows,  but I'm now down to 3 favorites. Every time I looked at the bow rack all I saw was a bunch of money tied up and I can only shoot one at a time.  If money weren't an issue I'd have lots of bows and be going on as many dream hunts as possible.  But I have to deal with reality - one nice bow could be an elk tag or gas money to Colorado....or?

When planning a dream hunt people often end up fairly close to where I live...I do not spend the money I used to on bows, but everyone should have a Blacktail Snakebit, right?

I think I have plenty of bows to use. As for hunting, I need the money to enjoy as much time off work as I can just in my own state. I was always jelouse of guys that took a leave of absence for the hunting season. That takes some serious saving up.

Easy decison for me...give me one good solid bow and lots of great hunts.  In the end it's all about the memories made, right?  I seriously doubt I'm going to look back when I'm an old man and say "damn I wish I'd had more nice bows"

I am blessed to have a job where I can do both, bows and hunts.

I got bows out the wazoo. I only shoot 1 bow these days anyway. As for hunts we, have been doing our own for years, and we will do a fancy guided hunt one day in the next couple of years. Got two kids in college and they want to continue!   :archer:

Neither prevents the other for me.

I've never been much good at either/or.  Like Bowwild, I do both. If I had to forsake one, it would be extra bows.  Can always get bows.  For me, I want to do the hunts I want while I still can.

In my opinion, Dark Timber hit the nail on the head. Now, I've owned a lot of bows, but none of them bring back the memories that an adventure somewhere holds.

I have good hunting in state. I'd rather spend the money on toys!

Both but if I had to choose there would be a reduction in the bow heard !!

Like all of you I love my bows... I do shoot one bow way more than all of the others combined. I would dearly love to take my favorite bow on a caribou hunt, she deserves it after all.   :archer2:
