what is your favorite type of hunting weapon

 

[Hunting Man]

Very tough question. Close between the bow and flintlock. I'd probably lean to the flintlock.

 

[rdrader2002]

Would certainly try bow-hunting if I had any trees tall enough 'round here that would support a tree stand. Have a few gnarly oaks, but none of them anywhere near close enough to the deer trails to be of any use.

I love bow hunting, anyone can grab a rifle and sling lead a 100 yards away, I like the added challenge of trying to get them in under 30 yards, so much more skill level to atemp to outsmart the animal that lives by smell and sight to survive. IMO ( and yes I do sling lead too, I usually hunt with what's in at that time, bow, muzzle loader, modern rifle, and yep even crossbow a few times)

[gfdeputy2]

Funny I actually thought about that & a spear but I can't add any now
Will remember that for next time

I'm pretty deadly with a BB gun too. The neighbors dog doesn't come into my garage and steal all my shoes anymore. (LONG STORY, but I do absolutely no harm to the dog, except a little **PING** in the butt every now and then).

btw... same dog woke me up this morning at 5:30am barking at cows munchin' on grass....

The only time I've ever jacked up an animal was when a dog tried to nip me in the legs and I punched him real hard in the nose and he stopped.

 

[critter gitter]

I live for the Lord, but after that I always choose bowhunting.

1/2 Wolf

I'm pretty deadly with a BB gun too. The neighbors dog doesn't come into my garage and steal all my shoes anymore. (LONG STORY, but I do absolutely no harm to the dog, except a little **PING** in the butt every now and then).

btw... same dog woke me up this morning at 5:30am barking at cows munchin' on grass....

My neighbor 'had' a 1/2 wolf 1/2 Siberian husky. Had no problems with the dog stealing shoes from the front porch one night, bringing it back the next with the shoe 1/2 eaten. I did have issues one morning when the dog was chasing my chickens and indiscriminately killing them. Saw what was going on, walked inside and grabbed the .30/30. Had already found out that the 170 grain Silvertips were useless against deer, but they sure had the desired effect on that dog. Only needed one round.

Archery takes the lead
As for pests (neighbors dogs) I use the paintball gun
loud enough the dog knows where it came from & after 35 balls a second they usually don't let there dog out by themselves for awhile

It doesn't work with my Lab though he actually eats the paintballs not a good thing the next day it is mostly veggi oil

Our dogs do the same thing.

The bears probable like the way the paintballs smell.

Hunting Choice

I prefer my rifles but muzzleloading is a close second.

 

[okla_bowhunter]

bow hunting all the way! last year i instituted my new rule: i will NOT pick up a rifle or muzzleloader until AFTER i make a kill with a bow. there is rarely a satisfaction in yourself in life than going into a deer's house and take them cleanly without knowing you are only feet away. priceless
