I only hunt naked with a stick I sharpenedusing my teeth. If you don't hunt like that then you hunt the easy way

The most important above everything is scouting! You can where and use what you want, but if you don't scout and place yourself in the best position to give you the best opportunity then everything else done if for nothing!!!

I consider big woods hunting "the hard way".
I hunt a 15,000 acre piece of low fenced property that is a mix of swamp, hardwoods, praires, pines, and just about everything else you can think of EXCEPT agricultural fields and food plots. It's surrounded by miles and miles of public land on all sides.
Trying to pattern big woods deer is a completely different game than hunting farms where the food sources and bedding areas are obvious. I've done both, and for me it's much harder to hunt the big woods.

None of the above. Hell I don't even have any arrows for my bow. You know how some people complain about Hoyts being heavy? Well, it's exactly why I bought my Vectrix... it's heavier so when I jump down from an inconspicuous location at unsuspecting deer, it(my bow) delivers a heavier death blow.
I thought about just using a sledge hammer but then I wouldn't be considered a bowhunter anymore. And oh yea, if you're flinging stuff with your bow instead of swinging it, you're doing it theeasy way too.
