Default RE: Should I start bow hunting?

Well I lied one last post.

15 years I've lost two deer with the bow. I have a kill ratio of about 96%, sorry if thats not good enough for you real hunters.

Anytime you folks want to shoot some arrows let me know.

Anyone in here that thinks its not hard and you can go out and pick up a bow, shoot it a few times and then go hunting
Never said anything like that, don't try and put words in my mouth.

This is what I said.

Your better shooting a few arrows at a time then two hour, 200 arrow marathons when you start.
Am I wrong? Shooting for two hours might lead to some form problems.

Well that's exactly why I picked up the bow about 15 years ago. I was ready for the woods when it came time to hunt. Still don't shoot all year long. When the walleye/salmon are biting I'm fishing. Still am a fanatic when it come to bow hunting.
Yup, when I started bow hunting I did to get extra time in the woods. At that time I didn't know how much I would eventually love the sport. I did however know what I owed the animal when I did hunt. A clean kill.

I know I'm not a real bowhunter because I don't shoot 12 monthes a year. I also like to fish and I run a youth foot ball league. Sorry about that. Can I still go in the woods?

oh well, ill see you guys in the next "i cant find my deer, help!" post on here.....
Actually I'm one of those people that get calls to see if I'll come help find a deer. I'm also the type of gut that will give up a day to help someone find a deer.

My son has been shooting since he was 5 he's 13 now and will go bowhunting with me next year. I think he's ready. He's been hunting with me since he was in the secong grade. He knows deer anatomy as been on quite a few blood trails.

Mossy and C903, The truth is you don't squat about my hunting abilities. If I showed this post to some people that knew me they would bust a gut laughing. Sorry I told the guy to go to a pro shop and take some lessons. Did you guys find it hard to shoot your compound bows?

Unbelievable cya.
