RE: Would You
But in this case it sounds like the guys back-up plan was to use a rifle. You don't just scramble around in the under-brush and find one.
His hunt, his decision..my hunt my decision. Muleys are a different animal than whitetails. I've heard guys say they wouldn't shoot at an animal over 25 yards..you'ld leave a lot of muley hunts empty handed if bow hunting with those limitations. But again your hunt..your decision. |

RE: Would You
Nope a deer with a bow is a trophy a deer with a gun is just dead.I take my bow gun season or my flint lock.Thats just the way i think

RE: Would You

RE: Would You

RE: Would You
If you were in that situation on a guided hunt and it had come down to the last day - both bow and rifle are legal would you opt for the rifle or continue to take your chances with a bow I wouldn't hesitate to load up my Kentucky rifle and do the deed. No way I'm spending all that money on a guided hunt and come home empty handed. Especially if I wound up with a crappy guide that can't help me get in bow range... or, more likely, prevents me from getting in bow range. |
RE: Would You
My opinion is that anyone that claims they would stick to the bow is in one of two situations:
1) They have plenty of good hunting ground with deer of choice and don't really care that they are going home empty handed. or 2) Stubborn as a mule. Tom |
RE: Would You
To all the people worried about coming home empty handed on a guided hunt;
I’d really suggest that if you ever do go, make sure it is guaranteed. I’m sure that will offend some, sorry ahead of time. |
