Like so many others, I hunt deer with many different weapons, Bow, Rifle, Shotgun and Muzzle loader. In this household we eat a lot of venison, because we like it. But if I had to choose it would be a Bow. Bow hunting is so much less unpressured and after your settled in nature and everything about it is normal, like your not even there. It provides the quaility me time I need to keep myself sane in this messed up world. But the bottom line is having a full freezer, so until I have to choose, I will continue to do it all as long as I can.
