I personally know a few guys who leave the rifle at home and hunt general season with the bow until it becomes too cold to physically do so.....one of the biggest deer my buddy has ever seen came by his tree stand just out of bow range during general season.....the one day he wished he had his 300Wby with him instead of the bow.
Some guys hunt with the bow for the thrill, some for the longer seasons and added opportunity, some for the passion of the hunt and the challenge of getting a decent animal with the bow.
Some people just don't like to share.
