Bow, Rifle or Shotgun? What do you prefer for hunting whitetails?

[t_holinka]

Bow, but rifle is alot easier.

Bow, the connection to your deer is so much greater and it is so much more of a challenge. Bow without a doubt.

Rifle, I didn't spend all that time at the loading bench and at the range for nothing.

mine?

Definately a bow. When you use a bow, you have to get much closer to the deer and you learn much more about the deer in order to know where it will be. Harvesting a deer is a much more rerwarding experience because you put so much work into it.

As much as I admire successful bow hunters I nearly always hunt deer with a rifle. Elk? bow and rifle, but totally different deal.

I like rifles. I've seen too many people shoot and wound deer and other game with bows and shotguns. I know a lot of you bow hunters probably don't do this and are good shots but even the few deer that are wounded and get away make me feel bad for them.

i would have to go with a rifle

Deffinately bow. Even though I have not killed a deer with a bow, nothing beats the adrenaline. Rifle is much easier, but bow is more fun.

[hjohn429]

You feel mare connected with the outdoors when you use a bow. Everything has to be done perfectally with bow hunting, and I absolutely love the challenge.
