Yeah. So the guy who has harped on the rest of us for years for being cheaters because we hunt private land and do things the easy way, is now telling us he willing chooses the "easier" way to hunt. What a hypocrite!!!
I agree! Take your meds Paul, bow easier than gun?
I agree with those who pursuit deer with bow because of the peace,solitude and challenge of beating a whitetails nose at much closer ranges.
I would bet all the money i have that Just about all of you would prefer to hunt in bow season. Why?..Because its easier
You are arguing just for the sake of arguing now. Contradicting yourself left and right. Maybe it is time for a break from the computer? I think you should head to the Doc and get your meds checked. Be sure to ask them about Oppositional Defiant Disorder.

if your hunting method for gun is the same as it is in archery then I would tend to agree with you somewhat. I will agree/admit i do have better sightings in bow than gun but i refuse to run deer like rabbits and shoot them. not my cup of tea.
I would say most of of us prefer bowhunting, but not all, and DEFINITELY not because it's easier.... :smiley_confused_sch
Give me a bow and a day, I might kill a deer. Give me a gun and 1/2 a day and I will kill a deer. What's easier?!?

Hicks lol..Yeah maybe...but you guys are so out of touch that i cant resist.
Jesse..
Its more about oppurtunities...More oppurtunities in Bow compared to gun..at least where i hunt that is...Gun season for me is a really a one day event. Its an absolute nightmare how many hunters enter the woods and disturb things...Deer react to this quickly. They react to pressure quickly and on the flip side they react to No pressure quickly.

Bullshit Paul. Its not about opportunities. You said it was about "ease". If you want to argue opportunities, then I might agree considering I bowhunt 40 days and gun hunt 6 or 7 days. Given the time spent doing both, I might have more opportunities with my bow. That wasn't the case this year, but has been in the past. However you stated it was "easier" to kill one with a bow as opposed to a gun and that's flat nonsense.

Now I'm in agreement with opportunities increase dramatically mainly because of less hunting pressure and more ass time in the stand during bowseason but certainly not the bowkilling is easier than shotgun or muzzy killing.

Well, you got an overdose of medicine today.rotflmao
More opportunities during bow? Of course. Season is much longer. Easier? I disagree. I like bow season because it IS more of a challenge. I also like it because I have more opportunities to sit in a tree stand. Early season CAN be good because they are more relaxed. Then again, the most mature bucks around here seem to come out just at last light or a tad after. They do not move due to pressure of guys pushing them. It is harder to control your scent due to higher temps. There are a lot of factors which can be argued both directions as to which is easier. To me, gun season is WAY easier.
To bring this full circle, (and maybe give Mountaineer a chance to slide out of here to avoid anymore beatings) maybe we should try to get back on track. Deer season numbers. The nearly 4 months of opportunity probably is part of the problem with the over harvest of deer. As much as I would hate to lose some of my seat time in the tree, shortening the bow season is a sacrifice I would be willing to take if it means there is a viable herd there for my kids to hunt in the future.
Shortening gun seasons or taking away the bonus weekend would have a larger impact on kill numbers than shortening bow season.
