Method of Bowhunting
« on: May 16, 2013, 11:17:03 PM »
What is your favorite way to hunt with a bow ( spot and stalk, tree stand, blind, etc.).  Include general location and type of game so that it makes more sense.

Spot and stalk-muley
Locate and ambush-elk
Predator call ambush-bear
If i hunted whitetail or had elk patterend to a specific trail i would use a blind or tree stand. Over looked but effective

Spot and stalk Mulies for early hunt. For the late hunt, I got a place in the north central I hike in to and when I smell the doe in heat, I put on the ghillie suit and wait for the horndogs. I have good luck with that on Nov. 21st and 22nd. Rut's usually completely over by the 23rd, then it's back to spot and stalk. I call and ambush Turkey.

Tree stand or make my own blind out of brush for whitetails.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.

Tried that once myself.  Woke up much later than expected.  Sometime during my nap a detour sign was erected at the end of the trail they should have approached from.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it.  :chuckle:
