My first passion is archery hunting,but I would never give up the diversity of rifle hunting and muzzleloader hunting.With a firearm I feel like I can "take it to them",cover ground etc.,itis not nearly as passive as bowhunting is for most of us.There are very few people that can stalk and kill big whitetails with a bow,consistently.
So firearms hunting fulfills the desire in me to roam.I think still hunting and stalking are a blast! If that doesn't stir some adrenaline or sense of challenge in a hunter than I am not sure what will!
