I'm with Falcon, I use what ever gets me, my son, and my daughter in the woods more. I am partial to my percussion caps, and my bow though. however my bow is a compound, with more due dads hanging oof of it than a guy needs. I would love to go the more traditional road, but I SUCK BAD with a recurve. Also it is very price to hunt these days, I do not have private land to hunt anymore so we either have to hunt with a guide or go it alone. So I will use what ever it takes to leagally harvest game. For my family it is about putting supper on the table.

All that being said, I do respect the guy or gale who goes out and does it the traditional way. It takes time and dedication to hunt that way. Now adays it's the time I no longer have. I do try VERY hard to teach my kid's the many different ways of take, But I think back if I had tried to take a deer with a recurve, or a BP rifle when I was 12, I would have had one hell of a time.
