Default RE: MAJOR BUCK!!!!!! Dilema!!!

The rack on that buck is incredible. I am very satisfied to see so many impressive animals being taken this year in PA.

Back to your original quandry.....I love hunting with a bow..in full camo..in a treestand...for as long as the wife will let me. However, considering the situation I probably, personally, would take the rifle. If I had the opportunity at an animal with a rack that big I would want the satisfaction in knowing that I could just as easily shoot it at 100 yards as I could at 20.

On the other hand, I can totally understand why someone would want to take it with a bow. There is a deeper sense of satisfaction knowing that you were able to get closer, undetected without the aid, intentional or not, of other hunters in the woods.

Good luck to you whatever may happen.
