How can you consider rifle hunting, true hunting?
I decided to stir up the pot a little bit and start this thread. Now you need to remember that i started out rifle hunting at age 15 and i still do rifle hunt but only about 5% of the times that i go hunting. Bowhunting is an art where one has to learn what the deer are doing, where they are going to be and then get them close enough to kill. Personally i have shot 8 deer in the last 4 years and 3 were with a rifle and 5 with my bow. I get mad at all the people who think they are hunters when they go out 3 or 4 times per year with their rifle and kill something. Any joe blow can grab a rifle and might get lucky and shoot a 13 point on the first day of rifle season. How can you call that hunting? how do you out smart the deer by putting on a drive and shooting one? i don't think rifle hunters can consider themselves hunters but more like deer thinners. just my opinion
