gun hunting seems like i am somehow cheating the deer and taking ther life a 150 yds...i like it wher u can call em in into less than 20yds
The only differnce I see there is 130 yards. so its cheating them when you kill them at 150 yards, but not at 20???? HMMMMM....


I prefer Rifle
Besides the yardage, it also seems like cheating because it's a hell of a lot easier to hit a deer with a rifle than a bow. In order to be accurate with a bow you have to work hard a while before season starts in order to hit a deer but with a rifle you just go out right before season, sight it in and you're set.

Also, I just wanted to add in that a deer's 20 yards away, it is A LOT more likely to hear and see you moving around than it is at 150 yards. So at 20 yards it just seems more fair.

I say to each their own thing. As for me, i used to always hunt with a gun, and even though its still a challenge, its notnearly aschallenging as with a bow though. I got into bow hunting a couple of years ago and haven't touched a gun since (with the exception of bird hunting). As for safely wise, bowhunting is a tad be safer compared to gunhunting.

i like them both but where i hunt it is more accustomed for rifles, bow hunting is funner because it is more challenging

For the need of skill and the intensity i would have to say bow but for having lots of fun and filling the frezzer.

Thats easy..hunting is suppose to be a challenge...if u shot him at 200 yds then that would be it...boom....wow good story ther..but if u could get him into bow range that would be a heck of a story...yep...seen him out at 200yds..half hour later called him in and then drew my bow back...and then thwack! got em!...and another thing is ur not suppose to shoot anything ya see in the woods...the important thing is that u saw somtin...anyway..just my 4 cents
