Ok big shooters. Lets see where we stand when we compare ourselves to the way the indians did it hundreds of years ago.

Have you brought yourself to this challenge. Lets see!

Our native Americans used to start fires to drive game to awaiting watchers or shoot off horse back on the run, I'd be called unethical to do the same thing.

and its still a very hard thing to get a deer with. (mainly because you cant bait in my state)

Not saying compound isn't hard everyone....just getting a feel to see who has done it bear bones...

Make a hole in the right spot with flint heads...animal bleeds....just like a 2 blade rage or a 3 blade muzzy.
