Default RE: bowhunting vs gunhunting

I have gun hunted for years and and this just got bowhuning this year. I got my buck! I will say that I like bow hunting better.

Is bow easier or harder than gun? humm some things that are harder about bow and some are easier

Bow: better weather,(early)dear havent started rut yet so you can hunt them by paterning. Its hard enough to switch a safty off a gun yet alone stand,pull back 29in, get withing 30(for me) to get one. I think deer are more apt to know if there are changes in the woods(people)

Gun: dont have to get within 30, freeze you ass off(here in MI) weather permits garage butchering. deer are spooked but moving around alot trying to get some.

final thoughts: you can kill a deer in bow range but you cant allways the other way around.

not freezing my butt off is why I like bow better and the above reasons. I know a ton of peopel that have shot a deer with a gun but not with a bow! there may be a reason for that. I think it takes more skill with a bow
