For any of youthat need even more of a challenge be it with traiditionalor compoundtry coming out west and killing a antelope buck without a blind or better yet a big muley buck. I am leaving out elk because they can be called into close range or patterned like whitetails so you set up tree stands over wallowsand hunt them that way. I willadd thoughthat elk hunting is not a sure thing, in Idaho the success for archery elkhuntersruns between 12 to18 percent at best. You can bet that the majorityof those kills are small bulls and cows. Not the big bulls that Wilber Primos and his crew kill each year on film.They (Primos)do make it look easy but I promise you it aint. If you don't believe me, well, I chalenge you topick up your bow andcome out west on a public land do it yourself bow hunt, with a over the counter elk tag.After tell me how you did? A few each year are indeed sucessful but most 80% or more eat tag soup. Back to my point,a big muleybuck is a true bowhuntes trophythat very few bowhunters achieve.They cannot be patterned like a whitetail, or called in like a elkand once spoked they can dissapear for the rest of the season. The shots tend to be long and that makes hunting them with a traditional bow even harder. If we could hunt them in the rut each and every yearthat would also of help. But unless you are inluck and draw a late season tag in a area where there are some big muleys, chances be most bowhunters will never kill one in their lifetime. Bowhunters (myself included) do kill muley bucks butmost are dump and young with small antlers, they are a totalydifferent critter then theirold wise mentors. Now I do want to try hunting elk with a traditional bow only because I know I can call them in close. There has notbeen a season in the last10 years that I didn't either kill a elk with my bow under 20 yards or had the chance to,but choose to pass in hopes of finding a bigger bull. But a big muley buck I have not even had a crack at one yet. Like I said before they are a true bowhunters trophy! I have seen a few within rifle range during archery seaons but the smart things knew I was their and their was zero chance of getting close enough for a shot.Traditional or Compound who cares? But if you want a challenge, well you all know my opinion andthats saying a lot from a guy who has elk blood running through his veins and mind.
