While bowhunting is much more difficult, the biggest advantage of being a bowhunter is having access to longer hunting seasons. In most jurisdictions, archery seasons begin before, or end later than rifle seasons. Bowhunters also often state that the challenge itself is an advantage of bowhunting, and that the difficulty increases the personal connection with the animal and the overall reward of the experience.
In most areas, bow hunting is allowed during rifle seasons. However, you will need to check with your local hunting regulating authority to confirm before going bow hunting during rifle season.
Bow hunting seasons are usually in the fall, from September to November. Some areas have seasons which open as early as July, and close as late and January. Archery seasons for bears typically open in the spring, with May being a big month for bear hunting. Wherever you are planning to go hunting, be sure to check with your local regulations. Bow hunting seasons are different in every unit of every state.
In most areas, you are not allowed to hunt with a crossbow during archery season. Crossbows are generally considered guns in terms of hunting regulations. Wherever you are planning to go hunting, be sure to check with your local regulations to see if crossbows can be used during archery seasons in your area.
Archery is the act of shooting an arrow out of a bow, at any target. Bowhunting combines archery and hunting, by attempting to harvest an animal with an arrow fired out of a bow.
