voted bow but my main goal is deer meat! would like to gun hunt but ohio only has a one week season and thats when everything that can hold a gun comes out and it can get real bad. so i crossbow hunt because the season is four months and i am always alone but i also own a ML.

bow hunting is my passion, you need to be close pick the right spot not saying you dont have to to your homework with a gun but you get that much closer , if i had a choose between shotgun orr blackpowder it would be black powder , you only have one shot , so you tried to make sure it counts;)

I voted for the bowif it is in reference tothe sporting aspect of hunting. If itwas a necessityfor foodI would opt for the gun, and if a centerfire was available, it would have to be a long action, either .270 or .30-06. Of course, if it was in very big game territory, and not in the Midwest, I would opt for something in .35 or .375 as a minimum. But the fire is lit when I take to the field with a bow and my broadheads.

Bowhunting. I find it more entertaining and challenging. I have hunted many times with the rifle before, but in the last 6 years, I have been bowhunting. Wouldn't change for anything.

I enjoy it all but the weapon of choice is the bow.In my home area you have a much better chance at a big buck during the archery season than the rifle season.Bow hunting has made me a much better hunter than I ever would have been otherwise and bowhunting is something you are or should be involved with throughout the year(shooting).I can't imagine my life without it!

Well its illegal to hunt with bow in Sweden so I cant make a fair choice between the two.
