I must be sheltered. I've heard about other types of hunters bickering about which one is best, but I've never witnessed it, personally. All of my bowhunting friends, also gun hunt. In most instances, we as a group, take gun hunting lighter because we are hunting with family and friends. While bowhunting, it seems that we are allloners. We prefer bowhunting but we still gun hunt. What's to argue about? It's legal, do both if you want.
