LOL...........you guys are all to funny. I have walked in the woods with an arrow drawn many times but not all the time. Am I a scared person? No, otherwise I wouldn't have chosen my profession. My question was only to find out what everyone carrys in the woods while walking in the dark, not to get harassed, but I guess I asked for it. I forgive everyone that doesn't know me but what else could I exspect from huntingnet. This is a big clique that Im not apart of.

Actually, your initial question was who walks in the dark woods with an arrow in hand, not what we carry with us while walking in the woods in the dark. There is a difference. However, you must admit you've gotten many posts considering how silly this question was. Wouldn't you agree?:D
Some folks may think this forum can be clique like, I did for a time,but it should be overlooked, as there is a wealth of knowledge to be had! You are one of us, or you wouldn't have stuck around for theteasing.It's all good.;):D:D

I joined this forum to optain the knowledge within the posts in hopes to become a better hunter and make right choices when the choices arrive.

I can GUARANTEE this will happen if you stay here. Sometimes we slam one another, but it's usually not in a malicious way. It's done more in an informative way, I like to think.:D

Well, I live in Iowa, there are some cougars in our part of the state, but I am really not that scared, but I have been attacked by a woodchuck, my deer slug took care of him. Probably the most dangerous thing I could find in the timber is a drug dealer, making meth, they would not think twice about slicing me open and throughing me into the river.

There is nothing in the PA woods that I fear while walking to and from my stands. Just this spring I had a bear popping it's teeth at me while walking into my spring turkey woods. I just stop and listen and let it move off.

RE: Walking with an arrow?

seriously?!? I remember being scared in the woods when I was 12 but that wasa coupledecades ago... There is nothing I mean nothing in the woods that will hurt... or should I say that could hurt you and you stop it with a bow at point blank range. If a bear or wolf (unlikely) would attack while walking out in the dark I doubt an arrow is going to help much. As the famous words in Wedding Crahsers "Grow up Peter Pan... "

RE: Walking with an arrow?

I have only been gunny twice while walking in or out in the dark. Once my dog trailed me from three miles away and scared the chit out of me on the way out. The other was my bow pull up string had came off my climber and was trailing me. I thought it was a jurassic park escaped raptor folowing me [X(]now i just walk in with attitude :eek:no arrow in hand :D

RE: Walking with an arrow?

I *with intense caution* usually always have an arrow ready to draw back just incase I happen upon a shot opportunity on my way to or from the stand. But as far as carrying an arrow for protection I think it's about useless to me. I will rely on my XD-45 with +p loads. I have ran up on a bear a couple times but I try to use the old method of bring a fat slow friend with me.

RE: Walking with an arrow?

RE: Walking with an arrow?

I have my pistol on my hip... no worries!;) Except when I'm with Rob he makes me feel safe! There is nothing out there that scares him! Me neither except a deranged outraged person and there are alot of them out there!
