I agree with all the other bow hunters out there. In fact, I'm probably going to give up on gun hunting for deer all together. I just find more pleasure in bowhunting. I feel like you have to put forth a lot more effort to be a good bow hunter. This is only my second year with a bow and I've taken my first deer with a bow this year. It was an awsome feeling. I started off with a gun my first year and my little brother talked me into trying a bow. It just seems like I've learned a lot more about hunting all together when I'm sitting in the stand with my bow.
