I'm in love...

...with my Terrenus named Roach that can almost scale mountains? Well yes, but not for this post.

I just recently crafted the Hunting Rifle, and I can't believe I hadn't done so sooner. The bow has been exceptional so I really didn't think about crafting the rifle, and I didn't want craft the rifle if I didn't have enough resources to sink into a fair amount of ammo.

So my first test shot, I meant to zoom, but instead I accidentally fired instead, and I randomly killed a deer through some trees at a range that I was not expecting. And that was it. Now I'm just riding around and gathering up sulfur and iron ore so I can make an endless supply of ammo. The bow is still my main because it's far more practical, but this hunting rifle is amazing.

Random question--does firing a gun draw attention from animals in the area? Is there a benefit to using a bow for stealth kills aside from the bow being cheaper to use?
