Bowhunters - not a big impact?

It’s just another example of things that haven’t stayed up on the times for game management

When changes take place via ignorant at best and corrupt at worst legislative politics - good change will certainly come rarely and slow... wish fwp had more power to manage

I saw my first FB post of the season looking for a tracking dog for a lost bull.

Muzzle breaks are only acceptable on anti-equipment munitions.

It doesn't matter archery or rifle, tracking and being a woodsman is a dying skill. It's not even on most hunters radars anymore as something to know how to do. My dad and my other early hunting mentors drilled home the importance of knowing trees and bushes, reading and understanding terrain in regards to animal movement, using a compass, and how to track animals. People just want to fast track the killing and skip over the necessary skills. It's a damn shame.

Rambo III > Hotshots 1 or 2. Change my mind.

It's like I don't even know you anymore, man.

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but that movie is dumb.

You’re dumb.

You’re dumb.

I've been told

I find it funny people throw a fit about the lighted nock but are totally fine with having a sight that slides out to 120 yards

I was just thinking the same thing today.

I was just joking about that

If some of you spent as much time hunting as you do watching Facebook you would probabaly be decent archery hunters

I double lunged a bull at 115 one day never found the arrow it kept on trucking

I find it funny people throw a fit about the lighted nock but are totally fine with having a sight that slides out to 120 yards

So you side with those 120 yards sliders?

 

[cgasner1]

So you side with those 120 yards sliders?

No I don’t the bull that I shot at 115 was second arrow the first one I hit at like 50 if I remember right.

As I've said who knows how many times...."Dial it".

@Lawnboy, couldn’t agree more!

With a dude over his shoulder telling him what to do, a bow that was shaking like crazy and a terrible shot angle that was about the best possible outcome

I can't imagine even taking that shot. But to post video evidence online is just a lack of self awareness!

His bow is either too high of a draw weight, or he has some bad target panic... I had to work through that in the past. It does suck.

 

[Treeshark]

His bow is either too high of a draw weight

Yep- I saw his bow hop off of the back wall just a bit for a second while he was holding, my guess is he is over-bowed here too.

***I’ve never taken a shot at an animal at these distances nor ever would consider it.***

Here’s an example of modern compound technology going too far:

I haven’t shot my bow in a couple weeks. I pulled up to the range, stepped out of the truck cold, forgot to consider the maybe 6mph light breeze on my neck moving left to right, and this was my first shot of the day at 134 yards:


I then shot 2 arrows each at 90, 100, 110, and the one green arrow at 120, which I would consider a poor shot but within the “BOA”:



Adult onset hunters without much experience, people with poor ethics, people needing kill content for their egos/livelihood, etc. are having similar results at the range and carrying it over to the field on live targets with the multitude of other variables that accompany a living animal and hunting situation. I’d be all for regulating technology capabilities in all aspects of hunting, rifle and archery. We will eventually have to do so or face less opportunity to hunt.
