I read it and understand it. Just think of it this way,if you were in a deer's position which weapon would you rather the hunter have, my choice would be a bow for several reasons, this is just a generalized statement, most variables set aside, just a hunter and a deer. ;)

I deer hunt with a muzzle loader but I think bow hunting would be more of a challenge.
Heres even another question to poise...

Cap or flint lock?
In-line or traditional.

or
Compound or recurve

I think a deer has a better chance surviving if someone has a bow in their hand instead of a gun, if a deer is 200 yards away it wont get killed with a bow, but could be killed with a gun very easily. You hear people say quite often, if I had my gun that deer would have been dead, you never hear the opposite, if I had my bow....

You need to either read, or reread BigJ71’s post.

There are too many variables to attempt answering this question in its current form.

Exactly. A deer 200 yards away where I hunt may as well be in Canada. It depends a lot on the terrain.

So who is the one guy that voted for gun?
He clearly hit the wrong button by accident ;)

I didn't vote because there is no correct answer.

I posted these answersfor the same question presented on the bow hunting forum and they apply here as well.

Some folks need to stop and THINK before the type.

When I hunt I hunt by stalking and it is without a doubt that stalking with a bow is the hardest and most rewarding hunt I ever hunted. Regardless of how most may look at it to me it is far harder up herestalking the northern deer. Lots of woods and coyotes and other predators make them very wise and one heck of a challenge..i wouldn't want to change it anyother way!!

all of my kills have been within 20 yds, cept for one turkey which was 31......bow or gun.....so that argument is basically invalid......IMHO
if folks would let them get closer while gun hunting, the pressure is just about the same....you get more knock down power from a gun, which is great, i can say i have never lost one from a gun, but i have a bow.....it's all hunting, no way is better than another, it's a personal choice...so hunt the way you want, with what you want......
