I think bowhunting is much more involved, practicing hrs and hrs,figuring the deer patterns, setting stands at different areas, and setting them for the right shot. playing the wind to get in undetected so you can get close and harvest a deer. I think bowhunting gives the deer a chance. you have to place the shot just right to make a clean kill. you might have to grunt to get him in to 20 30 yds and hope he gives you a good shot. with a rifle you got to place the shot right, but he dont have to be within 25, 30 yds. you might be able to shoot thru a few limbs too. if he runs off and stops to look back at ya, you might be able to get off a shot, with a bow thats out of the ?? I hunt every area with a rifle too. Ijust jump off 50 or so yds, and alot of times wish I had the bow. But to me every deer taken with a bow or rifle is a trophy. just more rewarding with the bow.and some good eating
