Bow hunting vs Rifle hunting

[Bearen09]

100% bow.......

I do booth. This year me and my hunting buddy had a 6x7 bull elk come out of the bush and stand 3 yards to the left of us and bugle. It was a rush. Elk hunting is always a rush but I've never had an elk that close to me while rifle hunting. The only thing is we had to track this elk for a 7 hours before we found him, where with a rifle he would have been down at 3 yards. Maybe, there a friggin tough animal. But I suggest do both, cause you gain a few extra weeks during hunting season to get out.

99% bow. The 1% is reserved for sheep. Bringing a bow into the mountains is like bringing a knife to a gun fight lol ( I don't hunt 410).

Not to take anything away from the OP...cause it's a good post. But since you are knit-picking it I can see your point......too many times, so called "rifle-hunters" pick on "bow-hunters". Now, to be certain.....we are all hunters and "hunting-with-a-bow" or "hunting-with-a-rifle" is a better gramatical description of what we do. Anybody can hunt with a bow, rifle, ML, spear, gun.............pick any number you want and have at it for the short time in which we dwell in this world. Fall comes but once a year.

I so agree I have lived in GP most of my life and after this season my friends and myself have decided to put our rifles away and strickly bow hunt do to the unsafe going ons in the bush. I do not want to be in the news papers.
