I voted gun just becasue thats how I started out hunting. During bow season I'm usually kickin up pheasants or in the turkey woods, cuz thats what my dad did. We hunt in a shotgun only area so I do get pretty up close and personal with a lot of the deer I take. I would love to try bow hunting tho. Always wanted to hunt the better part of the rut. I'm thinkin of getting in to it maybe next season.
