Default RE: Small bores for big game

Well, true, I am not that good of a bowhunter, but give it all I got and love it the most next to riding motorcycles. And can' t wait until Sept. 15. I disagree however. I know I could kill a deer with a 22-250 alot more effectively than with a bow at 30 yards. But the bow works for me too within 30 yards without much complaint. Been decently sucessful with it. Thats my personal limit with a bow. And yes, I have lost a bunch of deer with a bow. I knew they were good shots. But do to rain and losing my blood trail or whatever, I never found them. It sucks to no end and stings like a mother. But that doesn' t mean its unethical to use a bow in my opinion. Even though I have lost a lot more deer with a bow than with a gun. You as a bowhunter may have never lost a deer with a bow. And if so, I am glad for you and wish I was lucky as you.

Hey, I am just striking up something for people to think about during our off season here. 10 years ago I would have been on your side on this issue. But things change, and so does my mind as I get older.
