LMAO
. I see where you are going with this. But what if I get a 20 yd. shot with the rifle instead of a 500 yd. shot?

I agree about the trad statement though, that takes bow hunting to another level.

Dude this poll is on a bowhunting forum
Like asking who is Better MI or Oh in football in aMI board[&:]
And who cares, who really cares.
If some bowhunter thinks he is great, well who cares, ignore him and be happy, Geezish.

In a perfect world with NO variables bow hunting is a tougher game.
BUT....I huntprimarily bow but I do hunt gun and I have sure seen alot more deer with a bow in hand than with a gun and I can't count the number of times I have had deer well within 20 yards that didn't get an arrow. I also think my chances of a quality deer with a bow is better unless it is one of those rookies who pop a giant with a rifle on their first time out of the barn.
I think for me I would have to spend alot more time in the woods with a shotgun before I killed a deer than with a bow so NO. Bowhunting IS not more of a challenge for me. Tougher and more time consuming with too many hot summer days setting stands and such yes., but more challanging in execution NO..

RE: What do you think is more challenging?
The number of "monster" bucks on my wall would be exponentially greater had I been able to use a rifle instead of a bow over the past 10 years. No other factor than distance of the shot! I've been able to, year in and year out, get within 50-150 yds. of some fabulous bucks. Too far for a bow shot! When I was able to finally close the distance, I was unable to draw without being seen. I'm also a gun hunter, and enjoy the gun season, but bowhunting is by far,more difficult to connect on a "mature" whitetail.
