Why do you use a bow ?

Two words... BUGLING BULLS!!!!!

I get a HUGE thrill out of being so close I can see their eyelashes, escpecially bears, but dang near as excited with deer and elk.  I enjoy hunting with a rifle but it's no where near as fun as hunting with a bow.

To spot an animal in his environment, get within 30 yards of him, defeating all his senses, pull back on a piece of quality wood and instinctively send your arrow into his heart without him knowing it......or sit at 500 yards and pull the trigger.   Having experienced both I can tell you I liked them both but one was way more satisfying.

I voted for other. I love bow hunting because there is nothing like hunting elk in the rut! And for the most part, minus special permits, you only get the best shot of it during the bow season. muzzy is my second favorite because you still get a piece of the rut. My point is Elk in the rut, the only way to go.
