[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 754075, member: 7123"] I would strongly encourage you to join the ranks of we bowhunters (but not necessarily exclude gun hunting). Bow hunting extends your season to 3 and 1/2 [B]months[/B] rather than 2 weeks. It is more challenging and more exhilarating. It requires more practice and more skill - more attention to scent control, use of good blinds or stands, and a lot of careful patience (you have to learn to wait to draw while the animal is looking the other way). But boy is it fun and rewarding. I would encourage you to go to H&H gun range and look at all the bows they have in there. Most people go compound, but you may decide that you're a traditional man and get a long bow or recurve to add even more to the challenge. Do a LOT of research before buying a bow. It must fit your draw length, and most not be too heavy of a pull for your body and strength or you'll never master it. PM me with any questions. I've only taken one deer with a bow after several years of trying, but it was the thrill of my lifetime (so far). Absolutely, my buddy and I have no less than 3 hideaway areas right here in the OKC city limits where we can and do go hunt deer of an evening after work or in the morning before work. Unlike a gun, you can shoot a bow in the city limits. One of these places is pretty much in the middle of the city, less than 10 minute drive from my house. So yes, your opportunities are expanded.
