I would really recommend bow hunting. One reason last year was my first year bow hunting and I saw 8 different buck and two doe. I saw more deer in archery than i did all rifle season. Not just that, but i didnt see any buck in rifle. Archery would be a good idea because it will give you more chances at getting a deer. You do see more deer if you really scout out the area and set up your stand at the right spot. Although you see alot more deer it is more challenging which is what I think makes it more fun.
