I don't but maybe I'm missing something.

(I also use the same arrow for bulls or cows for the same reasons).


Technically, no.

But bulls usually offer fewer opportunities, which means I would think twice before carrying certain rifle/bullet combinations.

One of these days I'm going to poke a cow through the ribs with my 25-06/100gr Interlocks. Would it work on a bull too? Of course. Would I pick up that gun and head into the mountains if I wanted to come home with a rack? Probably not.

And for the record, to me, cows and raghorns are no different. I'd just as soon shoot a cow as some dinky 4 or 5 point bull with a rack that I'll never hang up on the wall. So when I say "bulls" I mean big 5pts+.
