7 yards with an arrow. I believe hunting this deer was much more challenging but I believe shooting your deer was much more challenging do you agree or disagree?
I would never argue you were not a hunter(I'm not sure if you were addressing my comment or not) but its not rocket science.....Its more challenging to hunt deer at 7 yards with a bow and more challenging to shoot a deer at 900 yards with a rifle.
Both ways are hunting and both present their own challenges and commitment.
I wasn't directing it towards you.
That's a nice buck. Ironically the first deer I shot with a bow was the first deer I lost. I haven't hunted with a bow since.
