Bow hunting is a challenge of your skill against the animals, not Best of the West. I feel that long range shooting is a joke also! Anyone can pull a trigger but get some of those guys 500 yds. closer and you may have accomplished something. My son just arrowed a good buck at 3 yards, now I think that took some skill and also a bit of luck. Just my opinion!  |
And it was definitely much more memorable being that it wasnt a long shot, seeing an animal blink and breathe right before you release... thats a rush! Thats what hunting is all about, working hard, getting the old heart pumping and always being rewarded by the memories and sometimes with a trophy! Thanks again for the hunt dad!
