This really depends on the individual hunter and circumstances. If you're a proficient archery hunter, in great shape, with lots of time available to scout during the summer, then archery is your better option. If you're a guy that needs to hunt closer to the truck, not real good with running the hills and getting in close, or have no time to scout then the rifle is your better option.
I pretty well live on the mountain year round. Over the course of the summer I usually turn up 3-4 190"+ bucks, during the nine day rifle I might find 1. With an average client I would have better odds of getting that buck killed on the rifle hunt than any of the 3 or 4 on the archery. You dont have to impress anyone with your abilities, just be honest with yourself of what you can realistically do. If you choose to go guided, be honest with your guide, let them know your limitations so they can provide you the best chance for you.
