Hunters will kill a deer with a bow purely out of preference and for a need for a challenge. Hunting with a bow is of a greater challenge than hunting with a gun, due to the higher potential for inaccuracies and the need to have to get closer to the prey than what is needed with a rifle. Poachers often choose the gun because it's fast, more efficient and easier to hunt animals with, even though a bow is much quieter overall.

A buck on the rut can easily kill a man with his antlers and sharp hooves. However a man with a good hunting knife on hand will be able to defend himself and kill the deer.
