The many great things about hunting are not only the patience of the wilderness and the rush of being so close to wild game. There are many different ways to hunting.

Its best to wait and be patient with your bow because you don’t have the distance as a gun has got. These are the many different ways of hunting with a shot gun, rifle and a bow.
