My goal is to kill at least 3 more with the bow and some with my rifle. Curious about how many of you still bowhunt during gun season. Options are: Gun only Bow and Gun Bow Only I will be a bow and gun.

That way he'll always have the gun he used and will remember the hunt. I'm going to be hunting the rest of the year with my recurve.
