Totally depends on circumstances, but I get really disappointed if I go a full day without seeing a deer, no matter where I'm hunting.

I think squirrel hunting might be my favorite type of hunting. My ideal weapon is a shotgun with a red dot sight and size 5 steel shot. My uncle prefers a super-accurate .22 with subsonics and takes headshots. I like fox squirrel braised in a white wine sauce, but there are literally...
