i agree buck magnet i have hunt anew place this year i scouted once before hanging my stand and three time since i have had three deer at 15 yards two at 35 or 40 two of the 15 yard deer i shot at and missed

all though if i had a shotgun i think i would have had my 4 tags filled

but i for me it is about the same i will not take a shot out past 50 yards with my soon to b new shotgun and right now i am at 25 with my bow

there is no one hunting with a gun on this land but since gun season started they have bee more alert and on my last hunt i had a small buck run off that was working down to me because i made a slight off noise with my rattle bag

i think it is just as hard to take a deer with a gun given the same distance say 50 yards since when you have a gun there more alert
i do not see a bow Kill any of a high achievement then a gun kill
