Put a whitetail deer hunter in a gun store and it’s similar to placing a debutant in a jewelry shop, the proverbial kid in a candy store. All those rows of deer hunting rifles, stacks of scopes and assorted accessories, where’s a whitetail freak supposed to start?
So imagine how an inexperienced or new hunter feels. Which caliber is best? Semi-automatic, lever action or bolt action? Long barrel or short? And what’s the difference in all those scopes? They all look the same.Luckily for today’s new hunters, the quality and craftsmanship provided by today’s gun makers is pretty much top notch across the industry.
