Bow, just think about how much more goes into shooting a deer with a bow than a gun. A gun is point at 100-200 yards and shoot. With a bow it is all about tricking the deer; calling/rattling him in, sitting motionless in a tree, spending hours shooting your bow getting ready for that perfect shot. You actually have to take the time to get a buck in with a bow. Gun hunting is fun but there is nothing that compares with shooting any animal with the bow
