Choosing the right weapon is obviously a very important part of your hunt because if you’re not equipped with the right weapon then you can’t land that trophy buck.

You’ve got three primary weapon choices when it comes to tagging a deer.

Those three choices are:

1. Firearms
2. Muzzleloaders
3. Bow

Now, a fourth option is to hit one with your truck but I believe that the morning commuter’s heading to work have that market pretty much locked up.

Some hunters choose to focus on one hunting weapon and one hunting style while others take advantage of the longer hunting season that comes with the variety of different seasons to choose from.

Check the hunting regulations for your state to see which laws apply in your neck of the woods, but in many localities the season kicks off first for bow hunters and is then followed by a smaller window for muzzleloaders.

Finally, the firearm season opens for the bulk of the hunting season.
