RE: would you say bowhunters are more serious hunters than gun hunters?
In general, yes. I think more bowhunters are serious about the sport than the people that gunhunt only.
Saying that, the number of people I talk to that take dumb shots while bowhunting is a little scarey. If you take bad shots, or make unethical decisions I don' t consider that person serious.
But yes. Many bowhunters out there are out there a lot, logging in several all-day sits, and doing some legwork. In my part of Wisconsin, the majority of gun hunters are weekend warriors out there just for the enjoyment, not so much the hunt. Not that that' s a always bad thing, they just do it for different reasons.
