Have any bow only hunters out there?Thinking about going bow only for good.To many crazies out there.No fun looking threw a scope any more.More satisfaction when they are almost eye to eye.

Lots of bow only hunters here. Pretty much switched to bow only myself this season and 90% of my hunting is Public Land. Much more fun than hunting with a gun, you won't regret it.

Bow only here for big game. I shot 2 deer during the gun season this year with my Hill Country Wildcat LB.

I Haven't had a gun out in years. Can't say that I wouldn't get it out again for pheasants or rabbits if the mood was there but I'll probably never hunt big game with a rifle or slug gun again.

got rid of all my "far reachin'" guns but still use my CVA mountain rifle (from kit) during the gun season the first two days.

Never hunted any other way, except for ducks and coyotes. Gun hunters scare me.

I been bow only sense I picked up the recurve and even before that. Dont seem right carrying anything else. Killed my first with a gun, that was over twenty years ago. I've never found anything more addictive than traditional archery!!

Bow only for me since 2005. I did pick up a shotgun for one weekend in 2005 or 2006 to hunt bear. I haven't touched a firearm since then to hunt with.

Bow only for big game. To many drunks with rifles out there for me during big game season.

Last buck I shot with a rifle was 1978.

I'm usually the one considered crazy while hunting with the recurve in gun season. With all the "crazies" on public land here in PA.

Bow only for big game waterfawl hunting with a bow is illegal most small game hunting with bow unless someone wants a culling job done

Except for birds behind my little Suzie...it is all bow for me. In fact I have never had a rifle tag. Been a few times with friends, but never had the tag. I don't intend on changing that anytime soon.

Just like wtpops, I have always been bow only....for over 50 years.
