In a nutshell, it's more challenging than sitting in a stand with a scoped rifle, shooting deer at 75 yards....... I love that I can holster my primary hunting tool and not have to lug something around that seems to get in the way of everything. I have also found that my big revolvers are not giving anything up to my "high powered" rifles, and actually seem to put game down faster -- as long as I do my part. There's more, but it's early and I only have a half a cup of coffee in my system.......
