We (my hunting partner and I ) killed 3 with bows this year...all were called in using pup distress calls while deer hunting (which is Sept. in WY). We hunt them through out the winter for their hides and kill between 60-100 each winter but those 3 with the bow were much more exciting than any we kill with a rifle (except for the one this winter that jumped over my partner' s legs ). Lots of fun and breaks up the boredom of long hikes for muleys.....
