We all have options when it comes to hunting. Archery hunters can choose traditional recurve, compound or crossbows. Firearm hunters can choose traditional muzzleloaders, inlines, handguns, shotguns and rifles.
I have always been more of a traditionalist when it comes to rifle hunting. I hunt with a 45 caliber Pennsylvania long rifle that I made on my own. I have yet killed a deer with it but I'm trying. I own a variety of pre-war vintage hunting rifles. All of these rifles sport aperture sights. I couldn't ever bring myself to drill and tap these original receivers. That's the way I like to hunt and I will continue until my eyes dictate the use of opitics.
