While I like reading and posting on the shooting boards my first love is bowhunting. I started bowhunting in about 1989 when my I noticed that my buddy got to start hunting in October. I was jealous. He started to teach me how to shoot and at first it was frustrating to say the least. I took a small doe my first season and was hooked. Last year I took my 40th deer with a bow. I have also taken several black bears, wild boar and 2 bull elk and turkey. It still amazes me to this day how deadly a sharp broadhead in the right place is. A big advantage to bow hunting is the sheer amount of relativley unspooked game I see during bow season compared to the rifle season. This is very important since I almost always hunt public land. I look forward to seeing more bowhunting posts and participating. HOSS
