Default RE: Another question.......

Harder to hunt or harder to kill?
Getting within effective shooting range with either weapon and then making the shot count , the bow wins hands down as far as being harder to put it all together and make the kill.

I bowhunt 160 acres by myself so it's easier for me to pattern a big buck and get within range while bowhunting.

During gun season I have six other people on the same 160 acres besides myself so needless to say it's hard enough controlling your own scent and hunting the wind. Throw in six other people in the mix which dont do anything but hang their blaze orange on the clothes line for a couple days before season and it gets pretty hard to even catch a glimpse of the same big buck I've seen while bowhunting.
