>> Get a small crossbow. Seriously. They are silent and can be very accurate. My son takes a lot of deer with his, and it’s light enough for even me to use.

This is something I've been thinking about seriously and for a while. Any recommendations (regarding brand, model, etc.)? I know nothing of the pros/cons of different crossbows. Thanks.

I can’t make recommendations—I don’t know much about the different brands either. For me, as a lady, one important criterion is that it should be light.

The issue with a crossbow is that the bolts are expensive, unlike ammunition. You do not want to shoot and lose bolts. But they are very quiet, more so than pellet guns, and they can do some impressive work. You would not believe the size of the buck my son got the other day.
