This topic seems to surface a few times each year on here (I'm guilty of starting a thread once
). I love to hunt no matter what the weapon. I do enjoy archery more, but there are things I still love about rifle hunting. For one, it's the only time I really get to spend quality hunting time with my dad. He brought me into this lifestyle chasing PA whitetails with a rifle, and I plan to continue this tradition. I love spending time at our camp, hanging out with the guys, etc. I don't mind if people enjoy archery or rifle more one way or the other, or even if one chooses to only do one, but what I don't like (and I hope this thread doesn't turn into that) is hunters bashing other hunters for their choice of weapon. It's simply not good for our sport.

It was fun except shooting that dang .44 without the ear protection I normally wear on the range [&:]- I wasn't even thinking about that! LOL my ears rang quite a while on that old doe...
