I have mixed opinions on it. I don't think any type of hunting is a slam dunk like getting groceries in a store unless you're hunting in a pen or some small fenced in area. I can often get a buck or 2 if I put the time in but it's definitely not a guarantee and I have to put in the time hiking to find them. I don't bowhunt but have nothing against it. I'm not sure I'd want to bowhunt a bear but that's probably another story.
