Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting What animals have you shot?

Just setting the bow up in the kitchen, aligning broadheads and such. Drew one back, made a perfect sight picture on the outlet and instincts took over.....Mr. Brain told Mr. Finger to pull.

The brother one...... hey he shot me first! Or, that was the story as I pleaded my case to my mom. Those old 20# fiberglass bows did not have a whole lot of energy. But my one coat took a hole through the arm by the bicep. Sucker missed the arm but hung in the coat. I looked like a movie extra in a spaghetti western as my brother laughed. That is when I shot between his feet and missed. Thank God for those old leather shoes. Now he was dancing like an Indian too. Lucky to have survived childhood.

Deer, squirrel, rabbit, coon, opossum.

Dave,

"Mr. Brain told Mr. Finger to pull..."

Had a conversation with someone else about practicing form and drawing indoors where he said his 'head told him to let go' when he got on target and at full draw..

I counseled him to avoid premature ej-ARC-ulation and never let the bow shoot him..:)
An archer must consciously loose the shaft when ready..

Thanks for( as Paul Harvey once said) the REST of the story..:) Glad no one was hurt.Jim

About 2 dozen whitetails, 2 mule deer, 2 turkeys, 2 javelina, badger, coyote, racoon, groundhog, squirrel, rabbit, opossum, armadillo. Clipped a few hairs from the belly of a bobcat.

I have tried that line on a few women to no avail.

50-60 Deer, I lost count & two Foxes.

1 Bull elk, 1 Mule deer buck, 1 Blacktail buck, 3 blacktail does, 1 Black Bear.

I'm going to be in South Dakota next year chasing antelope.

In 2009 my wife and I are going to South Africa for 10 days. Looking to add a few plains game species to my list.

Hopefully I can have some late season luck this year and fill either my deer or my elk tag(s)

WT deer, feral hogs, squirrels, rabbits, bullfrogs, snakes, many various birds (as a youngster), carp, gar, feral cats (as many as I can), possum, armadillo, raccoon, and maybe an aquatic turtle or two.

white tail 40-50
blacktail 5-10

About 30 or so whitetails, pheasants (on the ground), a badger, grouse while hunting elk, and once when I was sixteen, the neighborhood electrical power.

I've been on two hunts for elk but have not taken one, something I would still like to do.

Forgot turkeys - two. Next fall, Lord-willing, I'm going to hunt whitetails seriously again; I haven't done so in years.
