I never said bowhunting was simpler, I stated that bowhunters have an unfair advantage because their season is too long on game that is not yet spooked.

I do know for a fact, a lot more deer in my neck of the woods are wounded by bowhunters than gun hunters. I know this one hunter, who bowhunts all the time and practices all year, even part of a league. He shot a bear this year on my land that weighed over 400 lbs. and he took a nice sized 7 pointer. He also hit a spike buck that we tracked forever and never found. He hit a doe that we never found and he hit a 4 pointer that we never found. All in one year. I know several other bowhunters who lost game. In defense of them, they took good shots, but deer don't always go down. Some of you may say those hit deer have a good chance of recovering. I say, they may, and they may not make it. Especially with the coyotes in the area.

Bottomline: Bowhunting is harder than gun hunting, but due to the long season, they have much more opportunities than gun hunters have on undisturbed deer.
