Most - not all, but certainly most - hunters let the deer come to them, rather than get close to the deer to be honest. The number of hunters that use a stand rather than stalk their pray is way greater, as is their success rate. I hate being in a stand or blind being still just waiting - I prefer to try to creep quietly through the woods and sneak up on the deer. Problem is I suck at it, and I always scare the deer away before I'm in shotgun range. (To put it in a most confusing way - "I can't stand to stand hunt, and if it weren't for still hunting I would not still hunt")
Hunting is a super inefficient way to get food, that's why we started farming and raising animals.
It is also super fun, and draws people for different reasons: some like to get out of the house, some like being in nature, some like the kill, some like the food, some like the chase - whatever draws you to hunting is as individual as your fingerprint. Likewise, people will choose an implement that appeals most to them: subgauge shotgun, bow, rifle where allowed, handgun, etc. All of these have limitations, with the bow giving you the least range and not much chance for a followup to a miss.
The added challenge of one shot at close range is a draw to those who want that challenge.
Using a bow also allows you to hunt closer to people than with a gun - even if legal, a shotgun 501' away from a house may attract unwanted attention, and lead to the land being posted.
Other people hunt deer, because they like the taste of antlered rats. So for these people, they get another two months to pursue the vermin to try to fill their tag. This extra time also gets you in the woods to get away from chores and family events during fall.
Many people, many reasons, many methods - just remember - one team. It does us no good to have anti hunting gun owners, and anti AR hunters.
