I love to grab my recurve and head out into the woods! I have a recurve,longbow and 2 compounds. Nothing against gun hunters at all. I have plenty of guns, I just love the challenge of sitting on a trail or hanging out in a tree waiting on a deer or stalking pigs. I normally hunt on public land. You're allowed to broadcast corn by hand and that's about it! It's a great challenge. Horns or no horns, I like meat!

Never tried bow hunting, well, I take that back. I have bow fished before and loved it. I heard it is hard to go back to a gun once you kill your first deer with a bow.

Pretty much how it works. My son harvested his first ever deer last year at the age of 13 and used a compound bow. His choice.

I bow hunt for Bear and Turkey mostly but have taken Deer, Elk, Moose and Caribou through the years. I have an ancient V1 Oneida Screaming Eagle Break Cam bow. I am also big into Bow Fishing which is a riot in the spring time when the fish are in the rivers.

I'm trying to get back in to shooting but still have some work to do, someday I'd like to hunt. I picked up a Fred Bear Epic Xtreme used. I still need to get a front site on it, a release and have it tweaked from 28.5" to 28" draw.

My compound is a DXT. Great bow. Hard to replace something that works so well.
