I've been a bowhunter exclusively when it comes to deer for several years now. Seeing deer that you could have taken easily with a gun make it that much sweeter when you see the deer you want approaching your "high percentage" zone. I don't gun hunt for deer anymore, but when I did, I had decided that if I saw a true monster, it would be a let-down to take him with my gun when the bow kill is so much more satisfying. Keep at it and you'll feel the addiction so many of us have caught when you arrow your first.
