I could have, I've heard said we all have a twin.

But I guess "heads of big game" is a relative term.

This fish in this picture is a great fish, but I do not preface it by numbering the blue gills I have also caught.

Jim:

Last time I checked, Jim.....whitetails and turkeys were big game animals (they are in my state). What I said in my original post was simply FACT.

But, like always, your fat ass chases me around in here like a puppy....looking to start something.

Congratulations on ruining another thread.

Lighten up Francis, in this post there "deer and turkeys." In your first post some newbies might have mistaken you for a globe trotting game slaying professional.Instead of a everyday bow hunter.
Sorry for the ego busting, I know how Modesty pains you.

Modesty?....lol I don't know anyone MORE self-depricating re: their hunting prowess (or lack, thereof) than me. I made a thread doing JUST this, yesterday on "the other site".

I AM just an everyday bowhunter....who's taken 24 big game animals by compound and recurve in 3 years.

Congratulations on your early success. I hope it continues for you, I enjoy the reading.

How many different species of big game have you been fortunate to bag.
Any more species in the near future?

The thread wasn't about "species". I cited "Big game animals". That's what I've killed. If you don't like the terminology....have the definitions changed. If it's really about you "don't like the poster", just say so (although it's quite evident by your childish behavior).

Seems the only unflattering words are coming from you, I have shown nothing but interest and praise for your success.

I would do the same if I were interested in fire fighting, if a fire fighter stated he had fought say 30 fires, would I be wrong to want to know how many of them were structure fires, and how many were camp fires?

They were all bg game animals. That's really all you need to know (more, actually...as the actual animals have NOTHING TO DO with this thread).

Jim...the "innocent" card....you don't have in your deck. Your intentions towards me are and have always been blaringly evident.

Since you don't shoot a traditional bow....I'd ask what your relevance in this thread is in the 1st place?????

I myself feel no one has any reason to shoot an animal past 30 yards with a barebow(traditional longbow/recurve with no sights). And I am not saying that because I can't do it. I can't. But I have yet to meet any archer who can consistently hit a 6" target out to 55 or 60 yards. Even tourney archers, and tricker shooters. Have I taken animals out to 55 yards with a traditional barebow? Yes. Should I? Absolutely not. It was irresponsible and lucky. I have seen Stacie Groscup, Fred Asbell, Bryan Fergonson, all shoot, and I know they cannot consistently hit out to those distances. Maybe your the rare one.

Once again hash words from you, when all I did was asked you to clarify your statements.

And as far as traditional archery goes you have a ways to go before you can claim superiority over many guys here.

As for me, I was killing deer with a recurve before you were putting your big boy pants on for dinner at the country club.
