My first and so far only, sow was with rifle. I haven't gone hunting in about going on 7 years due to my father dying, and I wasn't ready until 5 years later since he and I usually went out hunting together, given few times i've gone on my own. Last year, I wasn't able to afford it. This year, well, at the moment I am looking for work but I do hope I can get back into hunting this year or the next year. But, I plan on eventually getting a hog with the bow
