I trapped more when I was younger, worked my way up to mzloader and rifle for big game, then tried bow hunting deer last year. Bow hunting big-game all the way...... up close and personal---adrenalin rush. The most skill required. Although I still love to hunt rabbits (on a good year) with my single shot .22LR, gets me gigglin to shoot 30+ rabbits in a morning. Lots of shooting and good practice for other hunting situations.
