I like hunting with rifle. But I also like bow and Muzzle loader. The thing I always liked about bow was how few people there were. 18 years ago when I was part of a hunt club I would be the only person in the cabin during bow season. The woods get crowded during gun, and since I hunt mostly public land, I always have gun hunters stepping on my hunt. It's near impossible to find a spot that doesn't have other hunters on it. I also feel safer during bow season because of the limited range of a bow and the fact that bowhunters are more patient and cautious by necessity.
