I'm the first in my family to take up archery hunting.I will take the bow during general season too,I'm taking it up for more season,challenge,just something different.If Texas had a Bumper season I'd drive a junker and try it...I avoid enough wild hogs now in the new 08there should beone!When I hunt during rifle season I go armed! Centerfire rifle(whatever pops up),AR(yotes),rimfire(tree rats),shotgun(quail),handgun(I like my ears ringing),crossbow(cause I got it),Compound(challenge),and this is for weekend hunts.
