I used to be. For no reason other than I enjoy it. Since then I have really enjoyed shooting rifles too, kind of a new phase I'm in at the moment. So we'll see how it goes. I usually hunt with a bow until late dec then switch to the rifle for the last few weeks. I may pick the rifle up a little sooner this year we'll see how the mood is. I will always bowhunt through muzzel loader though. I don't and wouldn't think any less of a person for picking up a rifle. It's a lot of fun but in different ways than bow hunting. The sets are different, the tactics are different. It's a whole new type of hunting..for me anyway.
