Is there any sport in rifle hunting

I've been a avid bow hunter for as long as I can remember. But when I was a little kid I would small game hunt on my parents property with my crossman BB gun. I would shoot rabbits and grouse, but I wanted something more and I've found that some thing I bow hunting. To me I don't see any challenge in hunting with gun and high powered scope. Some even hunt that way over a bait pile, come on is that even hunting. where is the sport in that? Hunting in a heated blind in open field where deer feed. A hundred yard shot is not that hard with a scope. To me there is no sport in hunting with a gun. You put a bow in a rifle hunters hands and he wouldn't have a clue. Gun hunting gets all the hype because so many people gun hunt. Why one might ask? Because it is so easy that just about any one can do it. They get there gun sighted in a few shots and that's it. Tell me where is the sport in that?

  1. I'd like to hear more about bow hunting. What are the special challenges of bowhunting? Is rifle-hunting really that easy? It can't be since lots of people don't get deer each season even though they're hunting with a rifle.

    I bet these comments might make some other hunters pretty mad! :-)
