Best advice... hunt for yourself. Don't worry what anyone else says. You will be happier in the end. What works for me or them isn't what is important. What works for you is. Goodluck on what ever you decide.
Oh, that isn't a problem for me...I hunt what I want, with what I want. I've been laughed at for carrying my bow all muzzleloading season, and laughed at even more for carrying my bow during firearms season. But, I enjoy the experience more with a bow.
I think my initial post is just me venting about hunting deer with dogs.
Its 2 in the morning, and I'm just trying to stay awake. Sorry guys...
