I'll take the shotgun maybe 1 or 2 days. Usually when I hunt with buddy's or family on the "Drive" days.

Other than that I shoot a bow through the entire season.

I did pick up a ML early this year though. I may give that a try this year but hard to tell.

I hunt the same way, picked up a muzzy three years ago and still havent sited it in. Maybe I will site it in this year but maybe not.

Bow at all times EXCEPT the first week of firearm when I normally have my shotgun or .270 with me.

When I have tags left for gun season I hunt with a muzzleloder.

I love to hunt with my traditional muzzle loader chamber in 50 cal. but when it is firearm season. I bring out the old 30-30 to do the dirty work. The season is getting close I cannot wait.

I hunt with a rifle on Nov 15th and Nov 24th(family deer drive)... other than that, I'm out there with my bow... but I usually give up after the 24th of November due to intense pressure in my area and near zero deer sightings. :(

I hunt strictly shot gun territory, so the last couple years I have been using a muzzleloader during firearm season. I go back to my bow during muzzleloader season but if it gets down to it and I dont have deer yet I will go back to the muzzleloader.

I go out for a couple days a year with a firearm. Two days is really bout the maximum for me with a firearm because I usually just got done with 10 days of serious bow hunting during the rut. By November 16th I am getting burned out and generally more than ready to head back home.
Since the muzzleloader season coincides with the second bow season, if I am hunting this time of year it will definitely be with a bow.
