It really depends on what im after.
for deer I would go with the bow
for turkey, my shot gun
squirrel, deffinatly a .22 rimfire
and cyotes will feel the rath of my rifles (which reminds me I need to get a bolt action .223 or maybe a .204 ruger). any of the above that is stupid enough to walk inside 30yrd of my stands WILL be shot at with my bow!! no guaruntees on the smaller targets but they will be shot at. I have hit squirrels from a tree with expandables and small game fixed heads.

Shotgun for turkeys, sometimes cause I carry the bow there too. I'll still shotgun bunnies but have bowhunted them too.
Haven't shot a deer with a rifle since the 90's and it was doe for management. Probably won't shoot another one, ever. If I can't take it with a bow, I don't want it. That includes animals I'm after but haven't hunted yet including but not limited to mule deer, moose, caribou, pronghorn etc...All North American big game animals.
