RE: Which do you think is better?
This past year was my first year bowhunting and i found it to be mor fun that gunhunting. I was alowed to go by myself with my bow and it felt more like it was 1 on 1 to me.

What's a gun? Does that answert the question, with a question?

RE: Which do you think is better?
they both have their attributes. I like both for different reasons. bow becuse there are soooo many less people out. gun for the ability to shoot further. that and carry a bit less gear. not as eloquent as bowhunting. both are very fun to me. couldn't pick a favorite

RE: Which do you think is better?
I'm about ready to hang up my guns. I went afield with my gun twice last fall and scored on a nice buck but it wasn't nearly the same as bow hunting. I like to get together with family and friends and since most of them hunt with guns it's natural I'd bring mine but the personal satisfaction just isn't there for me.
After talking it over last fall (thanks guys) it's become more apparent what I should do. This season I plan to hunt with friends and family but I will be the "silent one". I love my tree stand but stalking and still hunting with a bow offers a world of challenge to be explored. Is one better then the other? No, they're just diffrent and as the saying goes "diffrent strokes for diffrent folks." |
RE: Which do you think is better?
I guess better would have to be determined by the individual. I prefer bowhunting over gun hunting but I am sure everyone has their own idea of what is better and I am sure it is different for everyone.

RE: Which do you think is better?
I enjoy both - I find bow hunting much more challenging (I won't climb trees to be in a stand - I hunt from the ground). This year I'm switching from a center fired rifle to a muzzle loader, hoping to make rifle hunting more challenging. If my early shooting with my ML is any indication of the what the future holds - it'll be a challenge.
