rifle hunting
Pursuing deer armed
Rifle hunting is the practice of hunting game animals using a rifle rather than a bow, shotgun, or other weapon.
Most states designate separate rifle seasons for deer and other big game, typically following archery season: Rifle hunting opens next week.
The longer range and accuracy of rifles makes them the dominant choice for hunting in open terrain.
