Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Sherwood Forest Bowhunters Warmup

I would encourage you to ask as many bowhunting related questions as possible. I would go for moose before Elk and Caribou before Mule deer. Ive not had the desire to got after Elk and Mule deer. Perhaps some day when I get bored. Having eaten all the deer species, Mule deer was pretty poor eats. Moose was some of the best.

You you be interested in antelope? Also deer and elk can be hunted every year in multiple states vs moose and bou obviously. What gives?

Ive never tasted any pronghorn antelope (goat) that were any good. It (and any species) would be fun to do at the time but its nothing Im planning or looking forward too at the moment.



I just have preferences. Moose appeals to me yet elk dont. Caribou interests me and mule deer dont. Right now Im looking at Gators and Hogs in FL and then Africa. Partially because of the venues. FL in the middle of the WI winter appeals to my wife (just like Hawaii did last Feb.)

He hasn't found a high fence ranch with those species yet.

Im pretty sure elk are commonly hunted in reserves.

Moose.............. no

Caribou ............no

I think its the location of Moose and caribou and the meat quality that interests me. Ive taken only 2 species in high fence operations (hogs and Water Buffalo). Everything else over 42+years was wild/free range.

The water buff was a meat hunt that fell into my lap. Normally the water buff bull hunts at that location are $6000, WB cows $3000 but since I had an in with the owner. We got the WB cows, 3 days lodging, meals, alcohol (everything we wanted) for $1500. My water Buff was 1,700 pounds so its was a good value for organic beef since its was killed with a bow.

I'm glad that you don't represent the majority of bowhunters out there. I don't need to be a superior being, I'm already awesome. Haha! I would never purposely shoot anything through the guts to get to the vitals. That alone speaks volumes of your character as a person.

Can you post some of the stellar archery kills? Sans water buffalo and Hawaiian cow? Your friend, Jud

Clearly not a bowhunter. That shot was a finishing shot on a animal I had already hit. I was happy sitting eating a snack while the animal died from the first shot but the guide said shoot again, so I shot again. I dont think it was needed but always follow the guides instructions.

I could. I doubt I will. Perhaps Im making it all up.

So you ate the Vancouver Bull you shot? Nope, so it's not about which animal was "Good eats"? Always a hypocrite....

Oh, you should stick to dedicated archery sites if that is your passion, not a site that is geared 90% firearms.

You had to shoot it twice because you didn't hit it right in the first place. You were happy with the shot because you are glad to just hit it. I bet the guide was disgusted with you and told you to shoot it again to put the poor thing out of its misery.

It’s almost too easy isn’t it bigwoods??? Lmfao

Actually no but yours is a fun story to invent. How fun for you to do that. What a treat that must have been for you? The first shot was lungs, liver Diaphragm and lethal. The guide had never guided a bowhunter for Vancouver bull and was edgy over the fact that recently another bowhunter had been killed by a Vancouver bull after arrowing it.

This should give fat boy something to spank it to. 31 years ago, trad archery kill. Im guessing you were schitting in a diaper back then.

Id not killed a buck on opening day of the archery deer season before so I did that year. Back when we used a Polaroid instant camera.

It’s weird I’ve googled and googled it can’t find where a bow hunter got killed? Got a link fat eyes?

Great dink, dig the grain dropping out of its mouth!!!

1987 for conversation fat eyes.... 19” blacktail, sorry I’ve been spoiled, baby Huey style..... haha

You got a mystery friend in Hawaii (wink wink) Ask him about it.

Ronnie does this arouse you? Or make you sick??? Are they gonna give you a grandson????
