The most common weapon of choice is rifle although we do allow bowhunting and have had several successful bow hunts.  Recommended rifle would be anything from 243 on up.  Most shots taken will be 100 - 200 yards.  The most important factor is that the hunter have confidence with the rifle chosen and his skills with that rifle.  Bullet placement is also a primary factor.  Our choice of bullets are bonded bullets, they stay together best and usually allow an exit wound giving a good blood trail if tracking is necessary.
