My season has been slow. I haven't gotten out as much as I'd like. Working the forest fires early sept. killed my time off for a moose hunt. I'm using my bamboo backed Osage rudder bows longbow that I got from Pete W. I haven't been fortunate enough for success with it yet. We'll see how this weekend pans out.
I used to do it a lot in the past , until they closed our Calgary archery club.
But , without enough practice , use it only for grouse not a big game.
When I need meat my Bowtech Destroyer 340 comes with me in a bushes .
If freezer is full its time for 55 lb Savana to go there.
Now , my freezer is almost full!
So , its time for long bow.
Like them both !
First year hunting with the recurve. So far shot a mule doe at 18 yard spot and stock but really want an elk. Still have time, archery season is not over yet. I totally commit myself to the trad bow this year so my compound have spent most of the year in the closet. Good luck to all.
This is my first year hunting Trad as well. I've been out twice and had deer within 10 yards but no shot. Played "freeze tag" with a mule doe one weekend on three different occasions.
Only thing I've shot so far is a coyote. It was one in a group of three that came up on me as I was hiding out behind a bail. Wrecked the spot for the morning.
I have been trying many times but nothing yet. Tomorrow I will try again, and will do it solo, again. I will never stop trying doing this way. I think it is the most pure and natural way, brings you back to the basics and gets you closer to the essence of the true hunting spirit. I would love to have someone go hunting with, that will think the same way and enjoy it as much as I do.
Who's hunting traditional this year?
