If you were in that situation on a guided hunt and it had come down to the last day - both bow and rifle are legal would you opt for the rifle or continue to take your chances with a bow
Is this a trick question?
I wouldn't hesitate to load up my Kentucky rifle and do the deed. No way I'm spending all that money on a guided hunt and come home empty handed. Especially if I wound up with a crappy guide that can't help me get in bow range... or, more likely, prevents me from getting in bow range.
