Sure, whatever. Maybe I should ditch the rifle and bow. Hide out in tree's and drop bowling balls on animals heads from 12' or so up. Better yet how about I sell everything and just hunt with a bottle of Jack and a fast moving 3/4 pickup. No, no, better yet I will strip down naked and coat myself in axle grease, slither through the brush like a viper and hypnotize them, then order them to the butcher. Once there I'll finish it with a Easton aluminum bat at 2 1/2 feet.

COME ON!!! :o

It's true, I saw the Swedish bikini swim team shadowing a bow hunter during elk season. They were all worked up. They were talking about carbon Vs aluminum, penetration and such. :chuckle:

Think I struck a nerve. Make sure you have the wind right while lathered up with axle grease, they will likely wind you before you can hypnotize them.  All I'm saying is I am not all that impressed with super long shots.  There is a slim percentage of hunters who should even be considering shots in the 50+ yard range.  Guys who shoot regularly, year round, know their equipment and how their equipment performs in the elements are generally the guys I'm Talking about. 90 yards? I'm guessing there are a handfull of people in America that can make that shot with any consistency outside of the range.
  Sorry if I hurt feelings it just doesn't impress
me much.  If it makes you feel better I'm also not all that impressed when I hear about 800 yard rifle shots.

so what happens if you have an elk at 70 yards do you back up 20 yards? I like shooting my bow at 70 to 120 yards, and do pretty good but the shot has wat to many things that can go wrong. I just like calling them in close and drilling them on the high note, thats where i get my rush.

I know a guy that can drill a grapefruit size groupe at 100 yards consistently..... I've been with him on several of his hunts and watched him wound a cow at 23 yards.... (a full gut shot) It took off stopped up hill 87 yards away to look back with just enough room and time for him to settle down.... Knock an arrow..... And thread the needle..... Which was less then 30 seconds.... Top of heart and doubble lung.... Stone dead by the time we got to it.... Ran about 90 some yards after kill shot.... The fact of the matter is..... The guy is a great shot.... But with a little juice flowing and game in your sights..... Anything can happen..... He made a horrible first shot.... Cow fever got the best of him in the moment of truth..... But when it came down to deal or no deal.... He sealed it..... Should he have taken the 23 yard shot that pumped???? You be the judge..... Should he have taken the 87 yard shot???? I was right next to him... Called the herd in..... Was ranging for him... After I said 23 yards I told him shes yours.... When I told him 87 yards..... I said you better f in have this....  :chuckle: And he did.....

No, you call him in closer. Ditch the bow and get him in a rear naked choke hold and choke his fat hindend out. It's worth a try, it would be hard to top and the chicks would think it was HOT! Guaranteed !! ;) The Alpha male factor is through the roof, off the hook !!!!
 
How many guys can truthfully say to a chick?  "Hey baby, I just choked out a 360 class bull with my bare hands"  :)

Gut shot at 23 yards, do whatever you can to get another arrow in it.  That's different than pulling up and flinging a first arrow at 87 yards.

It's great! Most times any bow will do, most of them aren't up to speed on archery equipment. Just grab a 20+ year old Bear bow, hanging in any local pawn shop. Blow the dust off of it, polish it up. You don't even have to hunt with it, just hang it on the gun rack in the rear window and cruise. Be sure to back up to those dumpy road side bars. So they can get a good hard look at it before you come strutting in.

ZAFunny because I sure find a lot of dead elk and deer gunshot or ass shot by expert 90 plus yd shooters.

Number of blood trails in the Nile found this weekend with no one following them.
