Traditional bow? or Compound? Traditional rifle or modern? Both. I still hunt primarily with the cursed Traditional .50 cal. hawkens sidelock. No one will probrobly ever tell you to think about this avenue, but...Deer and wild boar hunting my sidelock will administer no step kills, deep brush, and confident 3 inch group at 100 yards and less. Sheep hunting and canyon goat hunts I would prefer something in the line of the CVA Kodiac mag. .45 cal. Whatever route you go, just go shootin. Shoot every chance you get. Placement is paramount. But FUN rules. I tried to explain to my son learn to hunt everyway possible if you want to fill the freezer. But muzzleloading is my prefrence. , I also win a lot of campfire gamblin beers when people say 'I'll bet that old gun can't shoot worth a #*@&" ....I'll take that bet. hawaiian hunter.
