Is bowhunting "all" (or mostly) about the challenge, to you?

[GRIZZLYMAN]

My sole reason for getting back into bowhunting a few years back was to extend my hunting season. Now it is that and that I like the challenge of getting a deer close enough to shoot with a bow. Rifle hunting has lost some appeal to me, but some years that is how I fill up the freezer.

For me... it's watching the deer in their natural movements and waiting for my opportunity to harvest a real nice buck. Gun season, at least where I am is more of a... deer are being pushed around I hope to be in the right place to get off a good shot.

Most of all I'd have to say, just being in the woods... hearing it come alive each morning is one of the most special times I can experience alone.
