While bowhunting, you're hunting relatively undisturbed deer following normal patterns of movement. While hunting with firearms, you're typically hunting heavily pressured animals, many large bucks become largely if not completely nocturnal at this time...and only the rut or close contact will prompt their diurnal movement.

Naturally, bowhunting also requires greater attention to scent reduction due to the closeness of range demanded for ethical shots, as well as much more time in the stand/woods per shot ooportunity.
