Great story iamyourhuckleberry! Thanks for posting.

As far as hunting dangerous game with a bow? I say go for it! If you have confidence withshooting yourequipment and the internal fortitude to pull it off then why not? The bow is a very deadly weapon ifused correctly and will dispatch a dangerous animal the same as a non dangerous animal......quickly.

Having a backup firearm just makes sense and has NOTHING to do with making or breaking a bow hunt. Sure you don't want to have to use it and would prefer if it wasn't,but if your life was on the line then it's nice to know it's there.
