Anyone else using the Bow during Firearms on Public?
I have nothing against gun hunting - enjoy it very much in fact. I thought long and hard about buying a firearms tag for MN this year. But given the "one buck rule", the lottery doe areas, and the overlap with the rut, it just doesn't make sense for me. So I'll be out in the army of orange toting a longbow. Who else does it? I've done it in WI before, that that's a bit different since you can shoot a buck with each tag and it's after the rut.

If I lived in MN with the one buck rule I would absolutely do it. Sure glad I have both options here.

Haven't used anything but longbow/recurve in over 2 decades

I'll be out with my bow this weekend. I do my gun hunting outside of MN.

I will hunt some public lands that are bow only during rifle season. I would like to start getting farther and farther away from my guns. I'm just not there yet. Good luck, and lots of respect for accepting the challenge.

Taking the Prime out for a WMA rifle hunt next week, I'm sure I'll catch a few looks but hunting with a bow is my passion. I've taken a few deer with a rifle but with a bow is a whole different experience, in my opinion.

I am sticking with the bow! Hopefully I can get it done before then but not at the rate things are going...

Yes
Bow during the F/A season for the past 25 years in MN.
I like hunting the rut and they insist upon having their gun season while I'm bowhunting!

I also only bow hunt MN, although it's not a commitment I've made indefinitely, just so far.
