One advantage to hunting with a firearm is range. A rifle with a scope and a skilled triggerman can drop a buck from as far away as 500 yards – maybe more.

Another advantage to hunting with firearms is that you have repeat action. That means that you can take second or third shots without reloading.

Being easy to use is another huge advantage of hunting with firearms. Most hunters have a decent shot at the deer with basic skills.

A large choice of ammo is also a good advantage to hunting with firearms. The options are too many to talk about here, but you need to make sure that the caliber you use is legal in your locality.
