I bought those particular shears, the Wiss Wezsnips, for the shorter blades. I've used several other game shears over the years and thought that the shorter blades might work better, so far I've been pleased with them. I could get by with just shears but I have plenty of knives and I want to use them too.

What you choose to hunt with is a personal satisfaction thing to me. From a slingshot to a centerfire rifle, there are plenty of weapons that can be used. Whatever is lawful, handiest, suits the area where you're hunting, etc., doesn't matter, show some pictures if you got 'em. I enjoy seeing them and I'm sure a lot of other's do too.
