Gun or Bow ?

[A-con]

Man it's getting slow around hear !
So if you draw a tag that allows you to pick your weapon, would you rather hunt the rut with a bow or late season with a rifle ?

 

[kirkl]

rut with a muzzleloader, but out your choices id take rifle.

 

[SageGhost]

i like bow..... can you use a muzzle loader instead of a centerfire rifle??

 

[MarvB]

If they're screamin' its bow for me.....rifle second....followed closely by sling-shots and granola bars

 

[BuzzH]

The nice thing about living in Wyoming...you dont have to decide...you just do BOTH.

Bow during the bugle would be more fun for me than a late rifle hunt.

 

[BRD DAWG]

Definitely bow during the rut. Nothing compares.

 

[archer]

bow during the rut nothing like a bugling bull 20 yards or closer to get the blood going and the nerves tingling.ooooooh yea hump

 

[antlerrick]

Bow During The Rut!!!
What Else Can Compare To A Huge Bull Screaming Down Your Neck And Your Knees Shaking!!! What A Rush!!!!

Rifle. I have never hunted with a bow yet.

 

[JB Florida]

I still havent killed an elk with my bow, like they said When they are close and bugle..........that ROCKS!!!!
talk about intense. I cant wait to do it again.

Of course either one s better than sitting here typing or being pounded by a hurricane!

 

[Horn Seeker]

I love them both, but I have to give the nod to Bow Rut! September is way toooo awesome in the elk woods!!! Man, what i'd do to have a rifle tag for Sept. where I bow hunt!!!!

 

[Roadtrip]

Neither

Muzzle loader....early or late. I like the Bugle...but don't like the heat.
Snow is cool to hunt in too.......

Thats like saying...Do you like your naked women blonde or brunette?



Cheers

Bow first, muzzleloader second. Just hope I can draw a bull tag this year with all my points!

 

[A-con]

I hear ya Ringer, I'm applying my points for archery tags this year, maby I'll hit the jackpot. Some of the tags will let me choose between archery and rifle, but I can only use one week, maby ten days to hunt, so I'll have to choose.

Archery in Sept;
More fun, but less chance of filling the tag

Rifle in late Oct. or Nov.;
Freeze my butt, much better chance of filling the freezer.

I only rifle hunt to date, and my wife has mentioned divorce if I take up bow hunting.

Seriously I am way to busy working in the summer to practice with a bow enough to get competant enough to hunt with one. Some day time will permit and I will take up bow hunting. I would love to make my own bow and arrows as well.

 

[HUNT]

Bow during rut. Muzzy next. Then Rifle

 

[Quiet_One]

i havent hunted yet hope to next year for sure be great i love to get nice buck good food to in my opinion i use gun get em with first shot

 

[noharleyyet]

Gonna try to draw a bull for first rifle season in Colorado in 05. Have gone 2nd rifle last two years with an over the counter bull tag. 85 plus degrees year before last (03, snow this year (04)...lots of orange everwhere, elk scattered and scarce both years.

Muzzleloader season, for me anyway, presents better odds, but I'll wait & take the rifle.

Hey Roadtrip,

Thats like saying...Do you like your naked women blonde or brunette?

Man, I can't compare that to elk hunting...I like the naked women any color, regardless of the season!!! LOL... And the weapon doesn't matter either!!!!
Good ONE!!!!
