There's rifle hunting, and then there's rifle hunting, though. There is some rifle hunting that surpasses in challenge, danger and skill my bowhunting out of a bush blind at a dam in the desert for thirsty animals, though that is hard and I love every bit of it. If I may be so bold as to proffer a controversial opinion here, as I dream of Africa I am lured more toward stalking with my rifle than through employing other means with my bow. However, don't get me wrong, as I wouldn't mind doing both, it's just that not all rifle hunting is like watching football, and not all bowhunting is like playing football.
