I tried to make this point in the "hunting myths" thread a couple months ago, but after ? how many pages of "yeah but the gun can shoot farther so it easier" I gave up. how can bowhunting be more of a challenge if you see more game and have more time to hunt? getting back to this topic, I just love wack'n deer and I love bows and guns so I dont have a favorite, I love it all That said, I dont think we as hunters should wish any part of our ranks to not exist, wether they be bow,rifle, Xbows or inline hunters because our #s are already decreasing every year , some may say "great more land and deer for me" wrong! the less hunters there are, the less strength we have in ensuring future seasons, there is a huge anti hunting movement out there. go on YT and check out the comments in hunting videos, it scary stuff. People may enjoy bowhunting more than gun hunting and thats fine, but gun hunting is an American tradition, which in case you havent noticed are few and far between these days
