A hard call.....

There's nothing like the up close rush from hunting with a traditional bow.

There's also a nice feeling involved when hunting with a firearm design that was state of the art ca 1850.

But then,I've used my 870s so long for everything,including whitetails, that they feel like a body part instead of a well known tool.

And while I mostly hunt shotgun counties, there's a special thrill in long range deer sniping with a good centerfire and big scope.

So, I refuse to pick. I like them all!!
