Default RE: is a rifle kill exciting compared to bow??

Wolfen, my friend, did I hear you right? <img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle> &quot;maybe not on little button bucks like the one you shot at 10 yards, and how about the challenge of drawing on a deer at 5 yards?&quot;

In other posts I have said this is my first season back since 1987. I bowhunted avidly for three years before 87 and thats when all of my friends were shooting the newly legal crossbow. In that last year hunting the Felsenthal Wildlife Refuge river bottoms of South Arkansas that same Golden Eagle took two deer. The First was a small spread 10 point at 20 yards and the second was an eight point with an 18 inch spread taken from 10 yards. Yes I have drawn on horns and stick by the original post.

Both are a challenge. When the challenge ceases I will probably put down the bow and gun. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Hey, size may not matter but it sure IS nice!
