Well i actually only bowhunt mule deer and elk. The archery elk season opens before i am in college so i have 2 weeks of hunting. Mule deer opens in the area where i am at college so its handy to get out after classes. But as for whitetail i am a rifle hunter. I really enjoy bowhunting but i still find more than enough challenge trying to get a 160 plus deer with the rifle. Possible some day i will hang it up and go after those big whitetails with the bow but I am not that skilled yet.
