Are you a bowhunter? Is a recurve better than a compound bow? Or do you prefer hunting with a muzzleloader, a rifle, a shotgun, or a crossbow? This week, Bud Fields talks about the unnecessary debate between some hunters concerning which hunting weapon is best. In Bud's opinion, they're all effective. But you have to know your craft. Scent masking, location, patience, and shooting skill are just as important as the weapon you choose.
