You're talking about taking an animal by two different means...so in my opinion, it's basically two different sports. Yes, they're both deer hunting, and both difficult...but obviously one is much harder than the other.
One of the most intelligent observations on this thread.

I hear too many people talking about rifle hunters as a group.
You do realize that you made the above captioned comment directly in the wake of disparaging bow hunters
as a group. I can understand how you "feel" about gun vs bow, but, hands down, bow hunting is more difficult and more challenging in terms of taking mature animals.
