in reply to: Your Maximum Yardage #28914
25 yrds max on animals I’m hunting and if its a big bear I like them at 15 yrds max!!!
in reply to: 2 Blade Blood Trails? #9828My first bear was taken with 2 blade magnus at 125 grains.that bear went 30yrds and he lasted 10 seconds,that bear was hit perfect.The second bear was a double lung and he went 75 yrds!Although the blood trail can be tough with a bear there is no doubt in my mind that a SHARP 2blade will kill quickly.I shot a spike white tail acouple years back from a tree stand and put the arrow through him from directly above.I hit the lungs as it went through 6 inches to the side of the spine.He ran a hard half circle and was dead on the trail 45 yrds from my tree!I am confident that when i hit the vitals the 2 bladed broadheads work.
in reply to: How well do you shoot #14255I have my backyard target wrapped in burlap and pick a new spot each time.I visualize a animal stopping and then I pick my hair and shoot.I hate shooting at bullseyes etc.I shoot 4 arrows per round and try to rest between each shot!
in reply to: blackbear hunting #63065Sorry it took so long to reply!I live up here in Canada and can only hunt bears over bait.The only other method is taking one during general open season for deer,then you can take them stalking or baiting,needless to say that season is alot harder.I use corn,apples and scents.Baiting is fun but alot of hunters don’t like it or are not able to use baits.I’ve killed 5 now,2 with recurve over bait,2 with rifle over bait,1 spot and stalk with rifle during general deer season,that guy came at me after the first bullet!!!
in reply to: WILL I EVER SHOOT MY LONGBOW AGAIN? #57618R2 thanks for the idea of imagining a spot on the other side!There is a great article in TBM this issue written by John Vargo it has tonnes of ideas and the ultmate idea on how to shoot a bow if your going through the problems alot of us have.Keep trying brother anything this good is worth the effort
in reply to: Traditional Bowhunting Interest? #57607As a child my Dad took a stick and put a string on and let me go after those big black squirrels that ran the softwoods across from our house,from that point on i was always the Indian in Cowboys and Indians,i became a boyscout and always went to the woods.The woods are always there for me with her arms wide open no matter what…Hunting with bow and arrow just consumes me and the practise and 3D shoots have been pure fun.I wish the snow would melt so i could look for sheds and scout for next season.
in reply to: blackbear hunting #53378I love hunting bears with my recurve!!I have killed a couple now and find it truly addictive.The meat from bears is very good and i barbeque it all summer long.Our bears eat crops and natural mast so this makes the meat very good,my none bear hunting freinds say it tastes like sweet beef.
