If you like to be in the woods as much as possible and also like a challenge,bowhunting might be for you.Archery requires more practice to stay confident/comfortable with your gear.I started really late(28years old)and wish i would have found archery 20 years earlier!I was a gun only hunter for 15 years before i saw the light--now i don't really think about gun season.Bow hunting is less productive but a much bigger accomplishment for me anyway.
