I hunt with both, have been for 7 years now. An every year when the last day of bow comes, I become a little depressed. One because I've failed to bag a deer with a bow...had too many chances, just either missed or passed them up. I just enjoy the thrill of being closer to the animal and not hearing gunshots in the background. I usually look at gun season a little different, more to fill the freezer. Don't get me wrong, gun hunting is still hunting, it just makes it a little easier. Either way I just love being in the woods and trying to pattern the deer to get them as close as I can without them knowing I'm there, thats why I love the hunt. Seeing them in their natural surroundings.
