Title: Sheep Units for the Bow
Post by: npaull on March 03, 2013, 05:45:15 PM: Do any of the sheep units have terrain particularly better suited to bow hunting than others (ie cover for stalking, etc)? Just curious about people's thoughts. Thanks for any insights.

I would put in your normal hunts and find draws where you could sit above and wait for them to funnel up. Using a bow in Clemans unit wouldn't be bad.

Do you have a lot of points or do you just feel lucky :chuckle: that you might draw

Don't mean to be a debbie downer, but unfortunately the odds are you'll never draw any sheep unit in your life. :bash:
