Any Bowhunters out there?

I've been out of it for a few years. I'm being pressured at work from a few guys to get out there again. Maybe soon. I've got an older Hoyt.
Bow season opens today here in Mass.
 
Same here CB, but I vowed I would never hunt with sticks and string again after my last outing....makes me sick to have em sooooo close only to either not get a shot or to miss.

I guess thats part of it :-/
 
yeah up here in new york, ifn ya want some meat ya go to the supermarket. or ya tell ya wife ta make ya a steak.

also, the only time we eat a salad is while our steak is cookin.
 
i got a browning but, i haven't seen it in a while. last time i used it was bow fishing down in venice couple years ago. prob in the shed, rustin.
 
Plenty passionate Stinkster, but I can only afford to do one hobby if I'm doing it right. I traded my Hoyt for some fishin gear about 5 years ago. Now I tell my wife that I only have one hobby.

That's kind of my problem as well. I, too am passionate about the things I love to do. My family is passionate about keeping me too poor to enjoy all the things I love to do. ::)
 
The last time I went hunting with a bow,
I used a Bear 40# recurve.
Compounds weren't popular then.
Now I go to the supermarket and hunt for a really good piece of meat.
Sometimes I get a fowl or two (chicken, turkey) and I don't have to worry
about being charged by the wild boar (pork).
 
'Bout 15 years ago I went and found a good piece of meat....led to the family that like to keep me and CB poor. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D 8)

Yep.

and everyone here probably had a perfectly good boat before the V20 too huh? ;)


I got one, but its just an "ok" bow. :D


I wanted to go to a parallel limb designed bow because I plan on bowhunting alot more this year and wanted something I would be happier using.
 
Stink man, we all deserve a little happiness. Heck, I gave Momma a little happiness this morning, I left for work ;). Getcha a new bow so you can kill it and grill it bro. Just wacth out for that danged poison ivey stuff

The new one will be even better!!!


I should find some camo thongs though, so it will match the green anodized cams. 8)
 
Well, I still love to hunt with a rifle although I don't kill very often...BUT that's all about to change my friends!

You see, Stink man has got me all worked up with this recipe for deer tenderloin (w/ mouthwatering picture) and I've gotta git it in my belly soon!! So, I'm thinkin of laying somethin down in November and another in December. :D

I did however replace my bow huntin with another kind of "huntin" that involves arrows. Here's just a sampling of the results from the last 3 years huntin trips....I quit huntin WITH arrows, so now I hunt FOR arrows ;D

I also have made roughly a dozen arrowheads out of some of the raw flint that I find in the field. I would aboslutely LOVE to make my own bow and arrow and take a deer with it! That is my GOAL!! Just gotta figure out how to make the bow and arrow shaft out of natural materials ??? :-/ ;)

I have a nice older Pearson recurve I want to take a deer with one day, but Im gonna get alot more proficient with a compound first. :)
