I also head shoot squirrels, running rabbits with a bow, and ducks flying 45 miles an hour with a shotgun. My kids have been shooting rabbits on the run with a bow since they were 12, just like me. If I dont need a gun for raccoons I grab them bare handed.
No but deer are a lot more hardy. You make a bad shot and your in for a half mile tracking job at least. You also have a great chance of that meat spoiling or getting eaten by coyotes. Taking running shots With a bow, you have a great chance of wounding a deer.. With a gun you have a chance at shooting another hunter.
