I see that there are a large number of rifle hunters on this board but I enjoy taking game with a bow, it's a more spiritual connection. Why do hunters choose rifles? The boards thoughts on this....

I mostly bow hunt. Only took out the rifle for a couple hours last season. More fun and challenging to shoot a bow IMO

Rick, do you smoke left handed cigarettes? You sure are a spiritual man

I enjoy being afield with firearms. I like guns.

A bow has no appeal to me really. Handgun hunting is as close as I will probably ever get to bowhunting.

I shoot both, I consider myself a well rounded sportsman.

It's really about being able to use the bow and get out there sooner. Once rifle season rolls around, I'm carrying the heat.

If I enjoy taking game with only a spear, lasso or by wrestling them down by hand......does it make me MORE spiritual than you?

I've been using my long bow since my father taught me to use it at the age of 8. It's a really cool experience to take an animal with an arrow that you made.

Possibly, but it brings Greenjeans to your door.

I enjoy all forms of hunting and fishing.

I also don't troll the board/flame the OB because I'm not a dickbag.

I swear bro you need to pump the brakes with this shite. It's getting obnoxious.
