Bow or Gun?????? Which one is more fun.
 
I bow hunt and gun hunt. I pesronally think gun hunting is more fun but when you bow hunt you can actually watch the deer for an hour or so at a time. gun hunting its around five minutes if your lucky. What do you think?

To be honest, i think its really a preference thing. Everyone has there favorite thing, some might be gun some might be bow.

although bow is alot more werk than gun....i like bow, puts ya right in the mix, nothin like having a deer walk up to ya, put their nose on ya and take a big wiff, jump back and start stompin the ground at ya to get ya to flinch!! like a bull fixin to charge!!! full adrenaline rush!!!
took me 4 years to get in the mix like that though.

like gun and bow hunting but I'm more of a gun hunter

I like both. Just cause ya have a gun in your hand doesn't mean that ya have to shoot 200 yards. I have only taken 3 deer that were futher than 50 yards.

I think bowhunting is more fun than gun. I'd say it's more challenging you have to do a lot more movement drawing your bow and you gotta get them in close. Once you shoot one with a bow you'll be hooked at least I am I didnt even take a gun hunting last season.

You're correct on that one!.....Gun hunters can learn alot by talking to Old bow hunters......I have never hunted with a bow, but all my questions have always been to bow hunters..

I used to do nothing but bow hunt, but a few years ago I took the .270 out and really enjoyed it. Since then I have gave up the bow and now gun hunt only. One reason is I dont have enough time or dedication to practice with the bow anymore. And i really like neck shooting them with my .270! Love to watch them fall where I shoot them. No tracking!

At my age
 
I could care less if anyone has favorites. I just want to be able to get out hunting, be it archery or firearms. And the more choices the better.

im kind of like valentine....i just love to get out and hunt. Id probably say gunhunting is more "fun" because you have more chances to take a deer tho
