Turkey? Do you have any pigs that aren't nocturnal?

It ain't about turkey hunting its about bow hunting. My kid shot a turkey with his bow this weekend and had just as much fun shooting rabbits and squirrels. Any hunting with a bow makes you a better bow hunter so when you do go hunt whatever it is you prefer you'll be better at it.

Squirrel hunting with a bow is ridiculous fun!

It's hell on arras though. We killed five rabbits one hog one turkey and five squirrels all with bow last weekend and I think broke a dozen arras.

Breaking a dozen arrows in a weekend can get expensive, but worth it if you have a GREAT time and some meat in the freezer!

Me too! I picked up bowhunting last year and have had less than 10 sits in the stand so far. I want to stick something BAD!

I'm thinking of heading to the ranch this afternoon. It is time to at least get out of the Metro-mess... I would have gone earlier this week but the bad weather kept me in the knife shop.

Bow hunting is like crack. I don't even own a deer rifle anymore. I'm headed to Whitney for a birds and hopefully some piggies. I'll also second the squirrel and rabbit hunting. I used to lose more arrows than I ever broke, but adders and field points fixed that problem.

I feel that too. I'm thinking next weekend will be a long one. Take the mini-sniper to woods for some pork.


I work hard, drink a little and hunt when I can.

LOL. I appreciate the offer but I have a bunch of pigs to put some fear into and that will satisfy the blood lust for now. I know lots of bowhunters like to shoot them though.

better start practicing. its been raining every evening and the low temps are going to mean alot of grass.....which is bad for trying to get deer at a feeder.

gotta make that opportunity count

I'm shooting more and more all the time. I can finally shoot my bow at 60lbs without pain. Now it's just a matter of strengthening and getting the muscle memory and form back. It's a little discouraging shooting five and six inch groups at 40 yards but hopefully it will come around. Right now it's 25 or 30 arrows per session. Hope to be double that before the end of August.
