I'm still toting the bow 75% of the time but there's a couple spots I sit in that I tote the bang stick. Hell I oughta tote bow all the time, I ain't missed or lost a deer in prob 10yrs...can't exactly say that when burning powder. 4yrs running with a cold miss. Past 3yrs had a 2nd chance and ended up killing the buck anyway (2 out of those 3 ended up being bow kills). Hopefully I'll get lucky again this year on the one I missed 2 weeks ago.
