RE: would you say bowhunters are more serious hunters than gun hunters?
I think out of necessity that bow hunters become Better hunters on average than the gun hunters. With todays herds it' s no trick to shooting a deer with a gun. Just by the nature of our " Close Contact" sport they learn from observation and trial and error. It' s not hard to reach out another 10 yards and make an allowance for a poorly placed stand with a gun. With a bow, 10 yards can be like a mile. YUP, bowhunters are definitely better.
