Deer Hunting Alternatives

On today’s episode of Buckin’ Out we’re taking a look at some of the alternative hunting weapons people use for going deer hunting. Lots of hunters choose to expand their hunting seasons by choosing one of these alternate hunting weapons for whitetail deer. Where we’re hunting in Door County, Wisconsin, you are able to get an additional three months added to your deer season if you choose to hunt with a bow or crossbow. If the string and bow don’t do it for you then you may also find additional days in the stand with a muzzleloader appealing.

If you’re looking to increase the challenge in the field, then maybe a rifle just won’t do it anymore. Handgun hunting has becoming increasingly popular in recent years and for good reason. Handguns like the Magnum Research BFR make it more accessible while providing chamberings which can stretch the distance when compared to a traditional handgun. Add a scope and suddenly you have a legit deer hunting firearm that make for a challenge and a lot of fun to hunt with.

Finally, there are new options like the Traditions XBR Crackshot that not only turn traditional hunting on its head but make for an enjoyable shooting experience. No matter what type of alternative hunting you choose to pursue make sure to check your state and local laws to make sure that you’re within your legal right to use the desired weapon to harvest a deer.
