I find myself with only archery equipment now. I was wondering if anyone out there only uses archery equipment also.

I still hunt dove, duck & goose  with shotguns, but all of my deer hunting is archery.

I hunt upland game birds with a shotgun...everything else is with a bow. I have been thinking about buying a .204 for coyotes though!

I just sold my last gun a week ago(22-250)and was wondering if anyone elso came to a point of selling there last gun. I have a pheasant hunt on sunday and will be using my long bow.

Over&Under

I still use a shotgun and/or rifle every once and awhile for some small game, upland birds, and coyotes.

Most of the time, it is the bow and the bow only for me.

I have never owned a rifle tag for big game.

Arraflinger

I haven't hunted for deer with a modern weapon since 1964 when I killed my first deer. Since then its been recurves, longbows, flatbows and muzzleloaders. When I say muzzleloader, I don't mean stainless barrels, telescopic sights,pyrodex pellets,maxi balls, shotgun primer ignition,inlines etc, I mean MUZZLELOADING!!     :)      :)

I will only gun hunt(T/C Encore) for deer maybe a week to 10 days per season (mostly with my Dad) but I love to dove hunt with shotguns and I still Turkey hunt with a shotgun. All other deer hunting is bow only.

I will gun-hunt for deer if invited to do so on someone else's property though.

It doesn't matter how or what you shoot, as long as you hit your target.

Sant-Ravenhill

Still use shotguns for birds...still carry a rifle for part of the season, because my son, daughter, and dad gun hunt.

Haf2hunt

I am archery only..for the most part, like arraflinger I do use the ole timey muzzleloader.  My last rifle deer was in 1986.

I hunt primarily with a bow, but still use guns when  the mood hits me.

I love hitting the deer woods using the old rifle my grandfather gave me. It's not a bow but there are a lot of good memories tied to it.

archery only for about the last 14 years.
I haven't regretted it.

rtherber

All hunting archery only since 1978. Carried guns in military/police work for two legged critters though.

Orion

I hunt a lot.  Archery for all out-of-state hunts, turkeys and almost all in-state deer hunting, though do gun hunt a few days during our one-week gun deer season.  Mostly a time to get together with my brother.  Still use a shotgun for grouse, woodcock and ducks, though have taken pretty many grouse with the bow, not on the wing.

Mr.Chuck

I gave up hunting with fire arms or anything else except for my longbow and whatever arrow I end up with, back in 1968!  I've taken a lot of game with the recurve and longbow and find no reason to change back!

Guess I'll be in the minority.  I love to hunt. Period.  Be it with a bow, rifle, smoke pole or shotgun.  I have trouble sitting still for more than a couple minutes so I rarely have deer close enough to me to shoot with a bow.  But I'm in the woods every chance I get anyway I keep hoping one day I'll settle down and learn to be still.

longbowman

I started in 1966 and after the '69 season I went bow only for the next 31 yrs.  Then, in 2000 I bought a rifle and a handgun because I was beginning to think there could come a day when I won't be able to.  I truly enjoy shooting my guns but unless I'm grouse hunting I just can't leave my bow at home!
