Bowhunting has a long history and continues to be popular in the U.S., with 25% of nearly 6.2 million deer harvested in 2022 taken using bows or crossbows.
Many prefer bowhunting for its challenge, as it requires hunters to use bows with a much shorter effective range, generally limited to about 40 yards.
With longer hunting seasons and restrictions on firearm hunting in many states, bowhunting presents a practical alternative for many outdoor enthusiasts.
24/7 Wall St. analyzed data from the National Deer Association to rank states by the percentage of deer harvested with bows or crossbows in 2022.
