Another big game is the "cerf", deer in english, it's a different family of your wapiti :http://images.google.fr/images?hl=fr...tnG=Rechercher
The bowhunting is at the beginning in my country, we're legal betwenn 1995, and i think we're 5000 bowhunter in France.
The shooters coice in first the traditionnal bow (because most of them hunt the small game and chevreuil) !
The big game is expensive to hunt and the gun hunter 're not all friendly with archery !
In my hunting aéra i can hunt 5 or 6 big game per year, and i hunt more to 100 day per year.
I'm happy to have found your forum for have an another think of mind about bowhunter !
