RE: How true is the saying "a bow kill is soo much...)
I enjoy bowhunting more...plain and simple. I spend about 10X the number of days bowhunting each year than gunhunting.
But they're altogether different...at least where I hunt. The animals in bow season are undisturbed and fairly calm when in the woods. After the first couple of hours of gun season the animals are on the go and they are alert as hell. Rare is the shot with a gun on the calm unsuspecting deer where I hunt. Even on my own land, which is a fairly large area with a small number of hunters...the deer know when the gunshots start.
