Bowhunting from a stand is the only way to go. So far compound bow is my favorite way but that is just because I haven't shot traditional yet, but hope to soon.

Legally, In Season, ANY METHOD!!!

If I had to pick just one...anyone where theres snow on the ground cool.gif

I may live hunting all year long...but when the chance comes to get out there and do it...it does not matter how it gets done...I've lived all year long to be a part of it cool.gif

Bowhunting is fabulous. That magical time in late October when the sun is going down and it starts getting a little bit cooler. No noise but the crickets and the locust, and maybe even some footsteps of those elusive whitetails! WWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, just can't beat it!!

Re: Favorite way to hunt deer

I enjoy deer hunting during any legal season but my preferred way is to bowhunt from a treestand or ground blind. I usually head out of state to bowhunt when our gun season opens so I can stretch out my bowhunting. It also allows me to hunt 2 ruts since the rut here in Mississippi doesn't crank up until late December.

I have bowhunted mulies out west by spot and stalk. That is a real exciting way to bowhunt but not really practical for hunting whitetail here at home.

I prefer using a gun. Jumping down from a tree on to the deer's back and choking him gets hard on the joints as you get older. And I gave up on using a slingshot a long time ago. ( Never could pull it back far enough) smirk.gif

.........................preferred weapon? Rifle. Browning .308 wink.gif

I would say if I had to choose one I would say bowhunting but I am fond on the white stuff.

Give me a track in white stuff and it's finished.

Being by myself with my bow out far enough so i dont hear a car or anything. Feels like im in heaven. I dont care about shooting deer then or anytime for that matter i just love sitting on the ground or in a stand its the one time in life were i feel like the rush of the world is gone. And i can focus on the thing i love most hunting.

Same thing for me except with a shotgun, i enjoy the scenary just as much as the hunting.

Re: Favorite way to hunt deer

For me....its gotta be with a bow...although i have yet to kill a deer with any weapon...i know the feeling of seeing deer out to around 300 yards and as close as 1 foot or less away from the ladder of my stand or tree....to me, having to draw the animal in that close to get a kill is a huge rush...way more exciting than taking aim at a deer 150 yards away

I love to bowhunt, i haven't taken anything with my bow so far but i think thats another reason i'm hooked is because of the challenge, but i still pick up the rifle for meat and for our hunting club big buck contest opening weekend of rifle season every year
