Taking a nice buck with a bow and arrow is more rewarding. Your shot is within thirty yards. Some bow hunters take forty yard shots. A tree branch or some leafs could deflect the arrow's flight. A deer sometimes could hear the bow being drawn with the slightest noise. A rifle with a scope can reach out six hundred yards or more. I hunt with a rifle and a scope and with a compound bow, when you bag game, there no comparison between the two.

Flintlock, patch and round ball. You ain’t lived until you pull that trigger and 2 heartbeats later a BOOM and a cloud of smoke pour out the end. At every pull you wonder if you misfired. It is very bench rest accurate, but you have to hold it through that 1/2 second delay or you got nothing. Loads of adult fun.

I hunt archery, rifle, and muzzleloader (both flintlock and in-line). Archery is my favorite. The time of year, not as many other hunters, the action of the rut(PA's rut takes place durring archery season), and the just primitive feeling of taking game with a bow and arrow. Flintlock is a closs second. I hunt late season flintlock when archery and rifle has failed me and it is an absolute blast.
