RE: Why are bowhunters so much better?
I hunt both rifle and bow, but 90 - 95% of the time with the bow, not because it's better, but because rifle hunting is too easy, almost anybody can do it. It doesn't required the degree of skill like bowhunting does. Just my 2 cents.
In the past couple of years, I've been hearing it going both ways. Everybody hears of bowhunter gripping about the rifle hunters and their ways. Rifle hunters do it because they can and still be successful, where as bowhunters do it and they're SOL.
In the past couple of years here in Kansas, there have been a descent amount of rifle hunters have been complaining because bowhunters have longer season, and better season(which they do). It's a lot easier for a rifle hunter to screw up a hunting spot for a bowhunter, than a bowhunter to screw a hunting spot up for a rifle hunter. You can find hunters on both sides with the "elitest" attitudes. You don't have to go far to find one.
