Birds with a bow?

[Emptyhanded]

Has anyone evershot birds with their bow? I have shot a few quail with my bow but  thats all i have shot so far.

I've shot grouse with my bow. It's a helluva lot of fun. Frankly, I prefer bowhunting for grouse more than I do using a shotgun. But grouse are about the only birds I've bowhunted.

Grouse with a Judo point is pretty darn fun!  My buddy is taking his bow to some pheasant ranch hunt near Spokane pretty soon, so I'm hoping for a good laugh there!

I've taken lots of grouse, Hope to take a turkey with a bow this year

I have taken turkeys and grouse with my bow many times....

I have taken grouse and 1 turkey , I missed a chuckar at 30 yards this year , I was thinking he would be a state record

I havent tried grouse before... Maybe i should. I am going to attempt turkey this year with my bow so we will see how that turns out.

I usually use arrows that I find for grouse. I figure I'll shoot someone else's loss

Once I went to grouse with the judo, there was no going back.  Shot a couple last year with a shotgun because I didn't have my bow, and it sure wasn't nearly as fun.  We shot probably 15 when I was in BC last year for an archery moose hunt.  Mostly spruce grouse, cuz they're dumb enough to stand there too long.  Ruffies are smarter and will flush.  Did sacrifice a broadhead to a big blue though...only blue we saw on the moose trip and I was in the woods without a judo.  Stuck the arrow in the tree and the grouse slid off onto the ground.  Best $20 I ever spent!  A buddy shot his first game animal (grouse) with his bow this year at 50 yards...incredible shot.  That'll give a guy some confidence for the real thing!  Haven't tried other birds, but turkeys are next.

I carried a judo in AZ on my coues hunt a couple weeks ago for bunnies...only shot I had went low and I took his leg clean off...hopefully that will become my new lucky rabbit's foot, although it sure didn't come from a lucky start.

Grouse, Crow, Pheasants, Ptarmigan, Francolin (S. Africa)...and still am trying to tag a %$#&@* TURKEY!!

I'm certain if a turkey comes in close enough I can take one. The problem is - the only time I see turkeys is when they are out of season.

When I was a kid I shot a ton of grouse, turkeys, pheasant, quail, doves etc with my old recurve.  Now I stick to grouse with my compound.  It is lots of fun hitting a bird in flight with flu, flus.

+1 Nothing better!  I made up a dozen and don't shoot them near enough these days!

One Goose on the wing.   And many, many misses too.

That is pretty darn cool! I saw a tv show with Tred barta and he shot a goose also with his long bow. After about 300 shot he finally connected.
I have only shot grouse with my bow,still fun but a goose has to be a lot harder of a shot! I can't imagine the look on the other hunters faces when you
showed up with a bow.
