I have always been and will always be a hunter period. The weapon in my hand has nothing to do with the joy I get from hunting. I welcome the changes in the seasons that bring out my shotgun and muzzleloader. Most of the deer I kill with a gun are in bow range anyways. It's nice to change things up a little bit and use different tactics to hunt........gun hunting allows me to walk all over the place instead of just sitting on my stand all day.
