I have been hunting whitetail for 23 years. I dont trophy hunt, just want one for the freezer. I'm the only one in the family that really eats it but like to bring it when I take the horses and camp. Tastes great in a dutch oven as stew, or a roast on the smoker. I haven't hunted with a rifle/shotgun since 2000. Bow or handgun only. Reason is I could care less if I got a deer or not anymore. I just enjoy getting out. i have been fortunate to get one every year with either the bow or the handgun, or even both. Knowing i hunt only with a revolver during firearm season, I wondered what it was like out in the western states....if it was as different than here in the NE like it seemed. That was the reason for the question.
