I will not shoot a buck unless he's running, gotta give him some sort of a sporting chance cuz if he's standing still.....he's a goner at any distance.

Here's my biggest gripe with bowhunters.....90% will claim that they don't have enough days to bowhunt. Last time I checked a bowhunter can hunt from oct 1st to jan 31st, am I not correct? I would love to start bowhunting but I'm not putting up with that hot booty weather, mosquitos and cottonmouths all over the place. I do have thermocell but my luck when I'd get to use it the wind would be blowing so hard it wouldn't work.

The simple fact of all this is that your are hunting an animal that has more keen senses than we'll ever even know about. The debate here is the fact that bowhunters must outwit those senses to the fullest extent in hopes of stickin a deer. The Gun hunters don't have to go above and beyond like a bow hunter would. They can sit in there shooting houses, warm up next to the heater, drank there coffee, dip there snuff and spit on the floor, and never even have to worry about the fact that ole mossy horns maybe slippin up on ya. Now I'm not saying that they don't have to watch they wind or minimize there movements, but deffinalty not to the extent of a bow hunter.

Think about it like this, how many times have you seen a video or tv show where some 8 or 10 year old girl or boy is layin that booty down with daddy's 270 at some monster mossy horns 200 yards out in the field. While yes it is challenging but it can't be that hard to put the ole crosshairs on em and squeeze off a round. But how many times have you seen a kid even at the age of 14 or 15 whack'n em for mr. camera man with his stick and string. It all boils down to the fact that it takes a certain degree more of woodsmanship, and poise to become a effeciant bowhunter than a gun hunter.

P. S. I still hunt with my gun 2 or 3 times every hunting season, but just on those mornings were I want to be warm, drank coffee, and dip snuff in the stand!
