Bow hunting strikes me as much more difficult than gun hunting. Consistently successful bow hunters are probably much more skilled hunters than gun-only hunters. My guess is that bow hunters probably invest more time practicing to shoot their bows accurately and more time scouting the habits of deer. I have no beef whatsoever with bow hunters. I didn't know bow hunters either felt superior to gun hunters or disparaged gun hunters, but it is likely that they could advance some powerful arguments for that kind of behavior. Do bow hunters roar around the woods on 4-wheelers? Do bow hunters shoot wildly and carelessly at deer? Do bow hunters trespass and hunt on property without permission? Do bow hunters take pot shots at deer from their trucks or from the public roads? Do bow hunters hunt while drunk?

I do not bow hunt and have zero interest in bow hunting. I am a modern rifle hunter only. I just happen to love modern, high power rifles with scopes. Maybe this comes from having read outdoor magazines growing up as a kid and becoming entranced by the slick looking rifles with scopes.
