RE: is a rifle kill exciting compared to bow??
I've always viewed it like the difference between flyfishing and regular spincast or baitcast fishing.
I still get the enjoyment out of catching the fish either way, but catching them on a hand-tied fly and a fly rod seems more like an art than the alternative.
To fool a fish as natural as possible in a prestine state as possible is truely mother nature at her finest.
In bowhunting, you need to fool their nose (one of the most effective senses known in the animal kingdom)...you need to judge distance much more accurately, you need physical strength to pull back the string...in most gun hunting...you just need to be in the right place at the right time and to shoot straight.
I do do both and enjoy them both, but on much different levels.
