dg Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Re: bowhunting during riffle season? What is rifle season? If I can't get within bow range of the animal, I have no desire to shoot it. It deserves to walk. Let the rifle hunters get where they can see a lot of ground. I'll get in the thick stuff and get to where the deer are traveling. I have no desire to use a firearm.

robk Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Re: bowhunting during riffle season? only on land that is private. they also know i am oout there and if someone shows up i know they are tresspassing. it is important not to take it for granted if your trying to hunt public land. wearing orange you might as well carry the rifle for defense and the bow to hunt with lol it is too dangerours with the idiots out there during gun season. rob k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayzorp Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Re: bowhunting during riffle season? I agree with dg,, I try it once in a while, but when rifle season comes in, I move into the thick brush.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Re: bowhunting during riffle season? Nope, I pretty much tuck the "rifle" away during gun season here in Ohio. Actually, we're not allowed to hunt with rifles in Ohio. It's shotgun only here, but I only pull that out if I don't have a deer by then, and when I do, it's kind of a half hearted effort. Give me my Mathews anyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTbowman Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Re: bowhunting during riffle season? Not me I love my rifle season just as much. Its a different hunt to me. But I do bowhunt during our ML season. Its considered the 2nd archery season too in VT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beagleboy Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Re: bowhunting during riffle season? In NY, the rut hits before the gun season opens so I bowhunt the rut and gun the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
