Bowhunters don't have to explain anything over "its my choice." Gun hunting is definitely easier in the moment of truth but through the years I've heard way too many bowhunters say gun hunting is easy or no challenge. For those its an excuse for their inability and try to make themselves look good. And I've killed many deer with a bow.


I agree

I guess it’s whatever excites you, and gets you out of bed in the morning

sadly, bowhunting is the majority of what I think about, but I would rather sleep in than rifle hunt.

Not saying it isn’t great for those who do. I have buddies who get fired up about it and that’s great, I just don’t any more
