He made mention of the species he took with his bow. I suggested a 10 day safari in RSA with me and he could double that amount! We laughed because although it's not shooting fish in a barrel, but the areas are so target rich and the strategies are so well thought out that it's entirely possible to see hundreds of animals in a week or two and seeing 20 or more big game species is almost a certainty. He chose to hunt New Zealand because his heart is set on a giant red stag with his bow. Can hardly blame him, they are magnificent! So what species of big game have you taken with a bow? www.huntingadventures.net Are you living your life, or just paying bills until you die? When you hit the pearly gates I want to be there just to see the massive pile of dead 5hit at your feet. ( John Peyton)

Multiple small game - coyotes, badgers, rock chucks, grouse etc. also. Much prefer to hunt Elk over all the others.

My goal is still to go to Africa and use the bow for Leopard, Lion , Kudu, Bushbuck, Zebra and Gemsbuck. I could then die happy! Guns don't kill people, it's mostly the bullets

I bow hunted for black bear over bait twice in Ontario and never had a bear at the bait either trip! I hunted elk twice diy but never got a shot. The critters have to win every time, I only have to win once. www.swanspointoutfitters.com www.lazybar-t.com outfitters 65-43-22-5
