Sound off, and good luck. I know I’ve spent many days in a tree with my bow, and listening to gun shots all around me.

Same here. Gotta say after years of bow hunting, not impressed by any rifle harvested animals. Not much hunting involved. To each their own....

I'm not saying I won't bust a gun out at some point but as of right now I'm gonna stick with my bow for awhile.
I'm actually not hunting this weekend because I got family obligations. But I'll be back at it next weekend. |

This is my first season Bow hunting, prior to a 3 months ago when I first got my bow and started practicing, the plan this year was to bow hunt during archery if I felt confident in shooting, then switch to rifle for rifle season and hunt like I normally do.
After sitting in a tree stand and tripod stand and watching them come in at 10 yards and being literally surrounded by deer for a few weekends I'm not sure my rifle is even gonna get to see the light this year. Its a different ballgame and I like it, no reason to stop. |

Bow only all season for me...
I bring my BIL, buddy and his kid in that last weekend with their smoke poles if we need does or culls whacked. I'd rather them shoot them with a rifle and watch them enjoy it than pull out a rifle myself at our place. Now I'll pull one out on other properties if required, but my lease, it's bow or bust. |

This is pretty much how I feel. Shooting a rifle at a deer 100+ yards away just doesn’t give me the same adrenaline rush as shooting deer with a bow 15 yards away does. |
