Just because someone likes bowhunting over rifle hunting or vice-versa is not an elitist attitude.
I loved bowhunting way more than I ever did rifle hunting. I got 3x or more of hunting in and I too saw more deer. However, I love rifle hunting as well and if I never bowhunted again, I'd miss it, but then I'd just grab my rifle and head for the deer woods without missing a beat. LOL! Hunting is hunting and the weapon one chooses to pursue deer shouldn't be a bone of contention... of less of course there are those out there having problems with someone having a preference of one over the other, then calling it an elitist attitude.
