There is nothing tougher in the world of hunting then to get a buck to walk within your bow range and putting a double lung shot on him.
I could think of several things tougher...leopard, lion, grizzly, cape buffalo, gator/croc, hyena, wolf, coyote, and pronghorn. Just to name a few. Bow hunting away from my home court has been a real eye and mind opener.
To be honest, I love everything bow hunting has to offer. The sweat equity I put into every spot I hunt is strenuous. The next years season starts as soon as last season ends for me. From scouting, shed hunting, and planting. Its all for a reason. Thats what I love about it, the time and hard work you put in isn't always rewarded, but when it is. Holy crap, that is one of the greatest feelings in the world.
Absolutely spot on-minus the planting part (for me anyway)!
Moreover, I like it when my hunts begin at 300 yards, not end.
