RE: How many of you still rifle hunt?
What's a rifle? Seriously, I have been hunting over 40 years, 30 of them with a bow. I reached a point 15 years ago where I didn't care to take a gun to the woods anymore--for deer. You'd have to hunt central Pa. to understand how many people there are that pick up a rifle for a couple days a year, sit a few hundred yards off the road, and call that hunting.
They are not referred to as the Orange Army for nothing. I just don't care to compete with 100 guys on a mountain for a couple of legal deer. Give me the bow season where I can have some peace and quiet and just enjoy the outdoors, whether I get an animal or not.
