Hunting with your bow in gun season.

[Frank V]

Who continues to hunt with their bow in the general season? I'm one who does, but not exclusivly. There are areas I hunt that just scream bow. Frank

I'll hunt with the bow til it gets too cold for me to sit in a tree stand then I hunt with a smokepole.

I hunted during the rifle season last December because that was the time I had the Little Delta Bow.  I was in my blind and was taking this video of a button buck when some slob poached a deer off of our company land less than a 1/4 mile behind me.  I was suprised at the non-reaction from the button and really questioned my sanity at being there.

I only bowhunt.  Having lost my hearing due to medical reasons and finally getting 60% back in one ear, I don't shoot a gun anymore.  Doc

I took a nice 7pt opening day of gun season last year with a longbow.

My family and I eat too much of it to rely just on the bow... although I would rather bowhunt the gun puts more in the freezer.

Bow kill pics only please.

[Shawn Leonard]

I have done both for years. I have killed more with the bow though, but last year I took 4 with firearms 1 pistol 2 muzzleloader and 1 with the shotgun and only one bow kill, it is normally the other way around. Shawn

[aarrow]

Haven't killed a deer with gun in 5+ years, although I did blast a couple of hogs to try out a rifle my wife bought me about 3 years ago.  I will admit to cheating with wheels a couple of times to make sure the bride was happy with the quantity of meat in the freezer.

I shot this doe on public land last year during firearms season. You have to completely nuts to go in there with a bow during that time!!!! Funny thing is, I heard a gun hunter say it was unfair that I could use a bow during gun season as I was dragging this doe out!!!!!

[Arwin]

I shot this doe last year during the muzzleloading season too on public land. Truth is I totaly suck with a gun and I'm better with a bow in hand.
