Bowhunting pheasants?
I was wondering if anyone here has ever tried to arrow a rooster? I though i would give it a go tonight in my blind in a foodplot. I saw lots of roosters but unfortunatly i had made my shooting lanes to short and none steped into it. When i was getting out of my blind i look up and there is a rooster 20yds away. iI let the arrow go and the rooster went up into the air and flipped a few times then hit the gorund. i was so pumped i thought i had killed my first rooster with a bow. i ran out to my arrow only to find no rooster or feathers or blood of any sorts. Anyway i was bummed out but i think that i am going to give it a go agian tomorrow. Wish mte luck!

Stacey Grosscup used to hunt pheasants with his bow the way most people gun hunt them - and he was very successful at it. He was the guy who used to shoot aspirin tablets out of the air with his bow - I saw him do 7 in a row one time. He just recently passed away.

Yeah...took one with my bow at 20 yds. Caught him eating gravel on a logging road. He flew quite a bit with my arrow in him before he went to the ground. I have a 35MM photo of him but notscanned yet. Grouse are a dime a dozen here in western Wa....their too fun too...ghosts in the woods IMO.
