First and foremost I am a hunter, period. As such I take advantage of every legal weapon and any legal game. Heck if it would be legal I would go hunting with a knife too.
Having said all that I do have a special fondness for bowhunting.

Ditto that for me too. I'd probably take to the field in 'wet noodle' season if they had one.Originally Posted by huntwriter

That could get interesting.Sign me up, I'll chase a deer with a wet noodle, it'll be fun I'll be stepping up a notch and bow hunting off my horse next fall, that's the ultimate hunting vehicle right there, the deer don't mind him one bit, and he's an old hand at packing, so I think I'll be set.Originally Posted by brotherjack
A bit hard to choose.
I don't really hunt in rifle season any longer. As a bowhunter I can't really consider myself a meat hunter. Although it would be nice. So I don't hunt in archery season "in addition to" rifle.
So the "Selective Bowhunter" seemed most appropriate. Not sure what, selective means though. If it comes by within range and it's legal, I'm going to try to take it, not selective at all.
It two elk are coming in, both legal, the first a cow, the second a nice big bull, I take the first good shot I'm confident with.

I've hunted with a bow for about 8 years now except for moose hunting trips. I used my rifle for 5 days mule deer hunting this year and it seemed foreign to me. I got skunked but got a nice whitetail with the bow later. Way more fun. As far as selective I select to use the bow most of the time and I select does or bucks doesn't matter.
all bow all the time..before, during, and after the rifle season
am i selective? No, not on the first legal animal that comes in my range, it goes down, period. Then i am selective on the next couple. reason being is a couple of years ago i was watching a nice little spike buck coming to my stand and i took him. Sept 4. my second night out. My third night out on Sept 9 a nice little 2 point came to my stand and i took him..I hated not being able to go hunt until later in the year (Dec) on my annual trip. Made for a real long season! so i am now somewhat selective.
I've always enjoyed hunting with my bow, but if I need meat rifle is the way to go, bowhunting is for the enjoyment of the outdoors,
