Rifle hunter had two weeks to harvest a buck while archers had at least 12 weeks. So which group had the advantage?
Take me for example:
I hunt in excess of 100 hours in archery a year, not counting scouting time, stand hanging, etc.
I hunt in rifle approx. 15 hours per year, and do little to no scouting or prep.
My success rate as of right now is 80% rifle / 20% archery.
Who has the advantage?
That is only because you won't harvest an 8 pt. or less during archery. your experience is not representative of the avg. archer in PA.
