Why can't you shoot your bow?
|
RE: What do u bowhunters do?
I check over my equipment and make any fixes that I need to and then start practicing for next season. I also apply for Turkey hunting tags and get ready for that season. I also start hunting rabbits with a bow and shotgun as well as Icefishing. Just something to use up time untill next season.

RE: What do u bowhunters do?
Bowing goes 24-7 for me I can now hunt rabbit's and I belong to a 3D range and also I can shoot my own target's We have a dart league that I thought that I would join but I'm not too sure how it work's shooting dart's with a bow but it sounds fun for mr and of course your right there is ice fishing .Guess my winter is pretty much booked and of course turkey season is right around the corner time to sharpen up those shooting skill's,so don't put that bow down quite yet get practiceing .......

RE: What do u bowhunters do?
I shoot in 3D competitions, and in my backyard. As for hunting, I hunt hogs year round. Sometimes coyotes, if I'm in an area where there are enough of them. The season never closes for hogs or coyotes.

RE: What do u bowhunters do?
There is always something to hunt where I live. Varmints, small game, upland game, turkey, hogs (year round), deer, non-game, fur bearers and so on. I do some roving (stump shooting) while hunting some of the game, especially squirrels and rabbits. Head for the range (60 miles) twice a month and shoot the whole course of 42 targets. When it's raining, I've got a target I can shoot at a short distance in the apt. just to keep the muscles conditioned.

RE: What do u bowhunters do?
Theres always time for a little back yard shooting. I also like to check out new equipment for the upcoming season.
|
RE: What do u bowhunters do?
join a local shooting league
|
RE: What do u bowhunters do?
We shoot indoor league. It helps to improve my form, build up my strength and it is fun. Helps ease the withdrawls from hunting too!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: What do u bowhunters do?
Ive got to keep shooting! I bought a couple of 3D targets for the back yard and shoot every other day which can be a challenge when its 0 degrees out but it really makes a big difference especialy when practacing for turkeys. other than that there is always icefishing.

RE: What do u bowhunters do?
During the off season I shoot 3D... and hunt groundhogs to keep in tune.
There is never a time of year when I "cannot shoot my bow." If you want to... you will find the time... plain and simple. But I hear ya. When the season is over and hunting is "no mas" I get a sick feeling in my stomach. The last day of PA late archery season is rapidly approaching... and I am starting to feel it. You know... like one of those things you don't want to think about until you really have to. -DT |

RE: What do u bowhunters do?
I go on a coues deer/javilina bowhunt every January, down in Arizona (leave in a couple days<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>). When I get back I spend 3 or 4 days a week scouting, preparing stand sites, and looking for sheds. Once or twice a week I'll go to the bowshop and shoot my bow getting ready for turkey season.

Read about hunting, tune up the equipment, and day dream about hunting a lot!

I start getting ready for next season, stand sites, equipment, scouting, etc., and keep right on shooting. Is there a reason you cant shoot after deer season?

RE: What do u bowhunters do?
This is my favorite time to scout, scout, scout and shed, shed, shed hunt. Prepare next seasons stands and build ground blinds. I try to shoot my bow no matter the weather conditions. I have a few 3D targets that I have set up on my property...kinda like a mini course. I love haveing friends out for shoots.

RE: What do u bowhunters do?
Well being a city slicker, I do not have the opportunity to walk out the door and hunt or shoot whenever I please.
I put my gear away after the season, and take it out again sometime in August, and start practicing again for the season. |
