cma3366a, I also reload for my 30-06 and shoot at the range 2 times a wk.
thesource, I hunt the same with a shotgun as I do with a bow, I place my stands where the wind blows into my face, I scout the entire hunting area to make sure there are deer there. Rifle hunting will increase the chance that when I hit the deer it will drop where it is hit. Rifle hunting is not any easier then shotgun hunting the only difference is the range in which I can land a kill shot. Oh and @ 32 hunting accidents over the last year you stand a better chance of being hit by lightning while in a submarine layingon the bottom of the ocean.
