How many are bow only?

[Covey]

I killed my first deer with a gun and didnt care for it, been bow huntin every sence! thats been over 20 years ago!! just curious, Jason

Bow only for mammals, gators etc. I hunt waterfowl and upland birds with a shotgun.

[Dave Lay]

I have been trad bowhuntin only for about 20 years... we are lucky enough to be able to bowhunt during our gun season and have a 5 month bow season...

[Bowana]

Bow for everything. Only use a gun at work.

I hunt deer with my recurve ( put my compound away 2 yrs ago), a .243 win that I customized a bit, and a .58 cal muzzleloader (cap and ball), and my 3.5" 12 ga with my spec recipe buckshot.

I love my Longbows but also love my guns as well!

I have a .270W that is a nice gun. I bought it when a good deal came along. I figure when I get too old to be able to pull a recurve "hunting weight" bow back to anchor that gun will keep me out hunting elk and deer. But for now it is all about the recurve bow and wooden arrows for me.

I'll use whatever I have. Last week I went out after hogs with a rifle, because that it the way that the lease I was invited to was set up.

Bow only here.  My Dad would not touch a gun again after the Vietnam War.  He started teaching me at the age of 4.  Ken

Depending on what it is I am shooting at I use Longbows, Recurves, Wheelie bows, Percussion rifles, Flint rifles, Air rifles, shotguns and high power rifles. What can I say, I love it all!

[RightTrailWrongTime]

I'm about 90-95% bow but I love the old cap and ball december deer hunt and side by side pheasant hunting with my dog! The "other" guns are just for intruders!

Every rifle season I go through makes me want to go bow only more and more.

[KentuckyTJ]

1985 I shot a buck with my 30-30. Been bow only since '86.

[Wannabe1]

I hunt strictly Traditional archery. I do not rifle hunt of any kind but, I do like the fly fishing!       I have yet too kill a deer or any big game and swore to myself that when I do get the chance, it will be with traditional archery gear.

[Jedimaster]

Much prefer bow for deer and hogs.  Given a choice it is all I will carry.  There are situations, when invited to hunt with others, that firearms are the order of the day (modern and primitive).  Fortunately, many of my hunting acquaintances are traditional archers so this is seldom a problem.

I quit hunting when I was in my early 20's, too many orange shirts. I started bow hunting in 1999 age 36. When gun season is in I won't go in the woods. After gun season the deer are very different, most decent bucks around here move at night for a little while. Bow only for me!

[centaur]
