My passion varies from season to season. I am a long rifle man during the modern firearms deer season, am a black powder nut during primitive deer season, and am a handgunner during the off season.

My favorite weapon to hunt with is the black powder rifle. I just love the whole concept, the loose powder (okay pyrodex), the separate bullet, the ramrod, etc. I love to see that cloud of powder right after you fire, and then the deer down after a well placed shot.

As to handgunning, I love both my six shooters and my semi-autos. Right now if I had to chose between the two, I would chose my .357 six gun, now ask me after I get my Kimber and I may change my tune at that time.
