Xbows! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm making the point that it's not as simple as Belo stated when grading accomplishments: "rife/xbow/compound/recurve"

Shooting a nice buck with any weapon is an accomplishment. But when stacked side by side and forced to rank it goes like this rife/xbow/compound/recurve You left out shotgun. More importantly you left out method of hunting. To me a kill on the ground without blind is a great accomplishment than a kill from a tree. Recurve on the ground #1, after that it's debatable. IMO, an xbow spot n stalk kill is more impressive than a compound tree kill over a food plot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Interesting points, thanks. However, I expect everything in life to go up in price every year anyway, so I'm not sure I will ever notice the difference. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can you explain how it affects me? I am being serious. I don't have the interest in taking the time to read everything about Obamacare. Here's my details: Yes, I pay taxes. I claim 0 (if that has any relevance). Yes, I have health/dental insurance through work. A small amount of $ comes out of each of my paychecks. No, I am not in a union.

In all seriousness, I haven't read up on it. I get insurance through work, so am I affected in anyway? My cost for medical n dental hasn't changed at all Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not quite hunting per se, but target shooting. I was never old enough to hunt with my Dad and his Dad (my grandpa) before my grandpa died. Before hunting forums, the three of us were the only people I knew growing up that actual hunted. This pic is probably the last time I did something hunting related with both of them.

Acts like this should result in the death penalty. It would make these freaks think twice Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any updates?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes his prices are very reasonable. Every other lynx outfitter is like $6K. He's half the price and 100% successful. He doesn't go to hunting expo shows etc. he just has many repeat clients from over the years, maybe that helps keep pricing low Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pygmy - did you see the pricing? I can't seem to get it on my phone. Regardless, Paul is top notch and his caribou hunts are very successful he told me. He said they aren't record book bulls but very good sized ones Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't have the link handy, but I think the guy I hunted lynx with does caribou for under $6k and it's fully guided and you will get one. Mountain Caribou if I remember correctly. Corkscrew creek adventures Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Damn just logged in and was hoping to see more activity! I'm a little disappointed. Anywho, I got no problem with anybody shooting a deer at 75 yards with a bow under the right conditions and if they feel proficient at that range. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agreed and agreed. Those who disagree with me, could have simply said "I disagree with 75 yard bow shots, I will never take one. To each, their own". End of discussion.

Law - Before going to Wyoming in 2012, I never killed a deer that was farther than probably 80 yards with my shotgun. So when I was in Wyoming and had a shot at 330yards, with no way of getting close and the sun setting, should I have no shot? The conditions were fine, I knew were to aim, and I completed the shot. I hit him a tiny bit back and he ran another 110 yards farther away. I aimed at the top of back and finished him off 440 yards. Did I ever take these shots before? No, but I knew were to aim knew the conditions (barely any wind, if any). So whether the shot was a success or not was solely on my holding steady and aiming properly or not. Before my trip this upcoming October, I will shoot at the range max of 200 yards, but when I get out to Wyoming I will take a shot up to 450-500 yards given the perfect situation if I can't feasible get any closer. Regarding bows/xbows, I currently feel comfortable shooting my xbow to 40 yards. Yes, I missed once. I thought the deer was 35, when in fact he was like 42-43, so I missed low. Just because I haven't killed a deer with my xbow yet, doesn't mean I will now going forward pass up a clean shot up to 40 yards. My miss wasn't because of wind or the deer moving, etc. it was my fault. Now if someday I practice and feel confident to 75 yards and get the perfect situation to take the shot, I will do it. I'm sorry if your against it, but I'm not and nor are many other people in the world (mostly outside of NY, I guess). I personally know people who have shot deer, antelope, and elk out west at distances of up to 103 yards. It does happen, whether you want to believe it or not. Point is, I'm not waiting until I kill X amount of deer with my xbow before expanding my shooting range. You don't need to shoot your bow long ranges in NY where you hunt I assume. So your 100 NY whitetail bow kills from a treestand mean nothing to me. How many spot and stalk mule deer, antelope, coues deer, elk, sheep, goats, etc. have you shot with your bow? Also, at what distances did you shoot them at? The amount of NY whitetails you killed doesn't make you any better of hunter than anyone else on here. For all we know, you hunt in a great area in NY where you can smoke cigs and talk on your cell phone all day and still kill a 100"+ buck. I have no idea, nor do I care. I don't get that opportunity, I hunt on 1 hill facing 1 way and hope for the best. That's whats convenient for me and I killed 6 NY bucks that way and I'm proud of all of them. They were all shot with a shotgun from the ground (no blind). So maybe I'm a better hunter than you because you use a treestand and a bow and hunt earlier in the season than me in a better area of NY than me? Get my point? Your kills don't impress me, unless your name is everywhere in P&Y and B&C, so maybe its time for you to "STFU", as you would say.

Over 40. I misjudged the distance and should have aimed higher. Maybe next time Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
