I have bow hunted for nearly 50 years, their is no comparison bow to gun, have killed a lot of good deer and also not got a shot at a lot. if you are a true bow hunter you will leave the gun at home. Forrest

I have, no difference. Even when it is not throwing they check it at night. North Eastern Texas, what ya gonna do.

It has no effect at all. This is on a lease that I got on last year. Deer rarely come to a feeder in the daytime. Very strange.

Hand corn. Seen good bucks come to hand thrown corn during daylight hrs. Only problem, if like me, live too far to corn on a regular basis.

Yep, 3.5 hours away.

3 hrs. for me, but, I get 7 days off each time. So if I corn up a couple places as soon as I get there, usually by day 3 it's ready to hunt. But, since we've had a bumper crop of acorns this year, I haven't even tried it yet this year.

I rifle hunt maybe once a year, and I have transitioned to traditional archery equipment only.

last time I shot a deer with a rifle was 1999. bow only for me.

Once you become proficient with a bow you will find that it doesn't put you at a disadvantage over using a gun in the least.
You adapt, and you learn what your limitations are with a bow, and you actually have to hunt a little harder in order to put the odds slightly in your favor.
That's the joy and draw of archery, and the satisfaction you get after a harvest is usually greater than those you've had with a gun, just because of the difficulty, and attention to detail that it takes in order to score.
One thing about bow hunters that I've learned on this forum, is that they don't bicker and whine like the long gun hunters do.

I have been bow only for the last 15 years. We bought property that is wide open so every once in a while I would carry a bow and a rifle. This year I killed my first buck with a rifle in 15 years. He was a 172 inch 12 point and I never would of killed him if I had had just a bow. He is at the taxidermist and I am very happy that I have him, of course I would of liked to have killed him with a bow but I would not change a thing due to the circumstances of the hunt.

Keep taking the bow out and it will pay off in the long run.

I still enjoy both. Just like deer hunting brings something different into my life than duck or turkey hunting, so do bow and rifle provide different fulfillment.
