1) I have gun hunted deer in the past ( it seems wrong but you can buy a good gun cheaper then a good bow) I still gun hunt some but only after i' ve knocked a few down with my bow. And i' ve said it before the duck hunters on the other side of the pond get a little upset when I' ve duck hunted with my bow

I won' t argue bow hunting is the most challenging. But as far as rewarding I view anytime regardless of the tool (gun, bow) I am out in nature hunting it is rewarding to me. I have said this before and will again, I could care less what I am toting as long as I am hunting.
Yes I have killed my fair share of game with the bow, but most of mine have been taken at eye level (on the Ground).
So whats more challenging hunting from the ground or perched in a tree?????
Point I am making with this we all have ability, opinion and experience that equate to challenging, rewards and pay offs personally, but the bottomline is we all just love to hunt

I have never hunted deer with a gun, I have always been a hardcore bowhunter. I can' t even imagine that gun hunting could be harder than bowhunting. I have buddies who have done both and and they all admit that it isn' t even close as far as gun hunting being as challenging as bow hunting. I just can' t see the thrill of sitting back at 150-200 yards and taking one. I like the challenge involved in getting that deer so close. Bowhunting for this guy forever!!!

Tougher, I would say they are both pretty tough. Trying to shoot a a buck wizzing by you from a drive, isn' t so easy. I think that there is a lot of luck involved with that.
I find bow hunting more of a personal challenge though. I prefer hunt the deer in their element without any other factor involved.
