If I were starting over again from scratch, I'd go buy a ladder stand and a muzzle loader. The learning curve on becoming proficient with the ML is much faster than compared to the bow yet you get a longer season than just a shotgun/rifle. You can also get into a decent ML more cheaply than...
Opening day was awful. I went to my normal spot and apparently so did everyone else. It was a sea of headlamps before dawn. Any deer that stood up got mowed down. I saw three deer and they were all flying by. I went back out Monday and saw a doe right at sun up for a split second. The joys...
