Bow, shotgun, muzzleloader, centerfire rifle... What's your absolute favorite way to hunt whitetail deer?

(Or if you want to be controversial about it: Which is the BEST way to hunt whitetail deer?)

I live in a shotgun state, and I haven't yet bow hunted. I have to say that muzzleloading is my favorite.

Winchester 70 .300
If I can see it, it's dead, scoped in for 250 yards, but have shot at targets on the range up to 500 yards just for fun.

Bow!!! no doubt in my mind.....nothin else like it

T/C fan!

I hunt deer with everything thats allowed here in Ky, except crossbow. I love bowhunting, but I've been hooked on pistols ever since my dad let me shoot his old High Standard 22lr 25yrs ago. From there on, I've been a pistol nut and about ten years ago, I got hooked on T/C's line of handcannons. My favorite is the Encore .308 15inch barrel topped with a Nikon 1.5-5X scope. I've taken a deer at an honest 264yds with this setup. Don't get me wrong, I don't usually take a shot that far off, but the rest was rock-solid and it just felt right, so I took it. Had it been a wall-hanger, I'd probably not have taken it, but I wanted his genes out of the herd. Like bowhunters, pistol-hunters ARE a different breed!![8D]

My Mathews Bow!!!! Nothing compares to it. The challenge of taking a deer with a bow is awesome. Sometimes frustrating, but that's part of the challenge.
