Or to take it a step further, post up pics of those same bucks and see how many responses you get ona thread saying congrats. Add 40 inches of antler to that and there is back slapping all around.

As far as weapon of choice. I like bowhunting and hunt with a compound. I tried trad,for awhile, but was never satisfied that my accuracy was good enough to consistently get the job done, so I shelved it.

I like to gun hunt too. It's definately not the same as bowhunting, but I take it for what it is and get after it. To me, the gun season is a way to wind down from the rigors and preparation that I put into bow hunting.

My gun hunting is very low key. I don't get allcaught up in scent control, my pack is half as full, I don't need a treestand, safety rope or a pee bottle. All I need to do is put my nose into the wind, sit and wait for a spell. When the view gets old I move. To me, this is also an excellent time to scout for next season. I like to take my gun for a walk.
