Just curious as to what all kinds of critters you folks have taken with your bows? For some reason this question popped in my head after missing a grouse a couple weeks ago and missing a running pheasant this weekend.

Archery season has been open since the 15th of Sept. here in NH. Shot 119lb. Doe 10/13 at 7:30AM.. Muzzle loader starts this Saturday 10/28/07. It's been really strange weather and unusually warm for us this time of year. I'm on vacation for the next 2 weeks so hopefully more brown on the ground. Ken

Mule Deer, Elk, Black Bear, Antelope, Coyotes, Grouse, Rock Chucks, Gophers, Jack and Cottontail Rabbits, Snowshoe hare, Carp, bound to be a few others but that's most of what's legal to hunt here in Idaho. Of all, stalking and taking a coyote was my best, although Mule Deer and Elk stalks are close seconds.

whitetail, mule deer,javelina,feral hogs, porcupine,coon,skunk,opossum,quail,dove, squirrels, rabbits, rattlesnake.
About anything I could have a chance at locally. Between whitetail, javelina,and feral hogs, I quit counting somewhere over 100 animals.
I've been skunked on killing an elk or a bou with my bows, but the hunts were not skunks!

Karma and Trouble have busses, and there's always an empty seat.

Deer, squirrels. More grouse than with a shotgun. Ground hogs and a few fox. A bunch of bunnies. I have also killed about 4 different kinds of trees, mostly hard woods.

10 Whitetail deer, 1 Cottontail rabbit, 1 Groundhog. The groundhog came after many many misses. I can get in range in an open field, but they spot me when I draw, and jump the shot.

Jason, I 'cut my bowhunting teeth' on western Maryland pasture groundhogs with the recurve bow before I was 15.
Cheap solid fiberglass 50# Pearson bow and wood arrows with bodkins..:)
Learned to belly crawl & stalk and shoot laying down when necessary..
Harder to lay on one's belly and shoot,( need great low back & stomach muscles for that) ..laying on one's back is a bit easier..
Either takes practice..but can be done well to 30 yards..:)
Kneeling shots work well too, but if you have little cover, they'll spot you IF they are used to being hunted by man.
Killed a bunch of groundhogs three yards from their escape holes by anticipating their move and sending the arrow so it skewered them as they dropped down to run before they hit the dive hole..:)
Also wounded several and dug them out with the help of my big dog..THAT was interesting..:)Jim
