Rio7

Your hometown?


LOL

Cute Rio...

Another Texan is born...

I'm thinking you were on the receiving end of the encounter,thus explaining why you always seem butt hurt.....

You're the one whining about me.

I'm not whining about you.

Ask a grandkid to explain this. If you have any.

Cha ching....

You think native Americans didn't take advantage of game feeding on abundance?

Back in East Texas, if you can find an overcup oak, you hunt around it! Deer LOVE those acorns.

They also drove game herds off of cliffs.

Are they real hunters?

The dude has a YouTube channel and from watching him there and talking to someone who knows him, he seems to be poison with his selfbow. Pretty cool as I’ve built one and shot it and it isn’t easy to master, I never did.

As far as baiting a bear is concerned. If you’ve ever hunted eastern Oklahoma where this season is you’d know that there is likely no way short of hounds or pure luck to get a shot at one otherwise. It is incredibly thick down there and the bear population isn’t huge.

I don’t know if he’s any more of “real” hunter than anyone else. But what he did certainly takes more skill and dedication or pure assed luck than smoking one with a crossbow or rifle. At a minimum he’s able to shoot his weapon of choice proficiently and he’s probably good at being still. Good on him.

And Rinella and his ilk can get fugked.

Rumor is he has been taking up with Big Stick - that's probably why.

Correct.

I like Big Stick.

making the bow, the arrows and then killing a bear is quite an achievement. I missed the part where the article or the OP belittled the rest of us, or said other folks should ditch their rifles. What is it about the 'fire that brings out the worst in people? What was the incentive to trash an interesting thread or launch such rebarbative personal attacks?

Natural food and agricultural food is NOT bait.

lolololololol

If the real hunter knew you, he'd probably belittle you.

LOL, you don’t hunt do you.

Iron arrowheads were a huge trade item, knives and axes too. Old pots and other scrap metal would be reworked into arrowheads. For one thing iron weren’t fragile like obsidian/flint.

Same vein, by the 1770’s Iroquois leaders were saying their young men “had forgotten the use of the bow”, by then rifles were in big.

That guy didn’t ask a whole lot of that arrow in terms of range on that bear. Accounts say Comanches on a running horse could hit you or your running horse at 100 yards.

Longest recorded arrow fatality; May of 1839 where Temple TX is today, against Ranger Captain John Bird. Hit him center chest, single arrow, 200 yards. Prob’ly self bow, prob’ly iron arrowhead.

I dunno how much the arrowhead woulda weighed. IIRClots of stone points that used to be called “bird points” were actually used on big game.

The OP stated the guy that killed his bear is a "REAL hunter."

Which implies those that do not use the methods the article describes are not real hunters.

I'd think after eight decades on this earth you'd be able to comprehend this but I guess not.
