ilhnter Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Re: Would you rather bowhunt or gun hunt honestly it doesn't matter me. I grew up around gun hunting and i love it. when i was 13 i started to bowhunt and my dad starting bowhunting this year for the first time in his life. I enjoy hunting with my brother and dad and it doesn't matter whether it is with a gun or bow. just being in the woods is great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RatherBowHunt Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Re: Would you rather bowhunt or gun hunt I think ill agree with the majority of the people and say bow....wouldnt you rather kill a monster buck and say you killed it with a bow rather than a rifle at 2348320498 yards....lol i know i would.....bow all the way....

bulldawg Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Re: Would you rather bowhunt or gun hunt The old shoulders are getting stiff, the arthritus is setting in, and I'm not disabled enough to get a crossbow permit, so I've got to say-"gun hunt".

magnatecsteve Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Re: Would you rather bowhunt or gun hunt I got in a habit of doing nothing but bowhunting, but a few years back my Dad gave me another flintlock muzzleloader, that he made, and the blackpowder bug bit me again. I still bowhunt 90% of the time, I would rather shoot a big buck with my bow and make meat with the flintlock...but the past two years I didn't get a shot on a big buck with the bow and I just happened to shoot my two best bucks with my flintlock in the past two years!! Still love to bowhunt, and if I do gun hunt it will be with the flinter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohiobucks Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Re: Would you rather bowhunt or gun hunt I'm a bowhunter that also likes to gun hunt with buddies. If I had to choose between the 2 - bowhunting for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Washi Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Re: Would you rather bowhunt or gun hunt They are two different experiences and I would not give up either one. I have seen two people comment about it not being as fun to shoot a deer at 300 yards or more with a gun. Many people think they can shoot deer at 300yards but very few can actually hit a deer at much more than 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidd Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Re: Would you rather bowhunt or gun hunt i would say bow hunting because of the thrill of being so close but i sure enjoy hunting with my ML still one shot but alittle farther if i had to choose i would pick the mathews up everytime good tymes nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldawg Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Re: Would you rather bowhunt or gun hunt I see as many deer up close with my gun, as I do with my bow. The rush is still there, but not quite as heavy. Try raising your gun when a big deer is closing in on you fast, and you will find out what kind of thrill there is in gun hunting too. If you always have to shoot deer at 300 yards with a gun, your stand position isn't right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Re: Would you rather bowhunt or gun hunt While I do both, I prefer gun hunting. Like Bulldawg said, what difference does the method of kill make? I typically get my deer at close range no matter what I am using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillbilly Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 Re: Would you rather bowhunt or gun hunt Ive seen a lot of other hunting forums go nuts and get rude with this type of post about gun or bow. I rather shoot a big buck with a bow, but I still love to gun hunt. This coming year, I'm taking another step into gun hunting when I buy a Muzzelloader, but I rather bowhunt as much as I can. But I still love to gun hunt just as much, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
