I have only been hunting for one season so far and i got hooked. So I have my rifle and I just picked up a crossbow so I can fill the freezer and extend my season. The funny part is that I have not hunted with the Crossbow yet, but I have already picked out the Compound bow I want to move to. But since i mainly hunt on a friend's property, I think the weapon of choice is going to depend on which stand I get.
