Title: NEW BOW OR RANCH WHITETAIL HUNT
Post by: irishevox on October 08, 2013, 04:26:50 AM: So here is my dilemma do i do a private 2 day ranch hunt for whitetail ( i will keep the outfitters name hidden b/c of special pricing) or do i get the new bowtech carbon knight. they are about the same price? Let me know your thoughts.

Post by: SemperFidelis97 on October 08, 2013, 06:17:53 AM: Two days is an awfully short time even in great country to close the deal with a bow, but on the other hand do you have a backup area to hunt-in if you purchase a new bow.

Post by: deltaops on October 08, 2013, 08:56:24 AM: I would buy the bow. If you get a nice buck you will want it mounted and that is not cheap either, unless you have someone that will give you a great price or do it for free. Just my :twocents:

Besides, its a two day hunt then its over. The bow will last a long time and you will get many of shots with it! :tup:

Post by: hntrspud on October 08, 2013, 11:27:55 AM: Tough choice there, but as was said the bow will last longer for you than the hunt. Get the bow and go to the Ranch next year. :dunno:

Post by: irishevox on October 08, 2013, 11:40:01 PM: Alot of people are saying bow but the poll says hunt the ranch.... i dunno... if i can swing a 3rd day then i will def most likley do the ranch... but i really want the carbon Knight.... i am so torn on this decision..... i think in the next few days or even a month i will lock the poll and go with the majority decision.... i can't make it on my own so i will let ya'll decide for me...

Post by: coachcw on October 09, 2013, 06:56:26 AM: bow technology has changed so much I'd go with the bow !
Title: Re: NEW BOW OR RANCH WHITETAIL HUNT
Post by: BULLBLASTER on October 09, 2013, 07:51:22 AM: I picked the carbon knight although I wouldn't buy one. But I would buy a bow over a 2 day hunr.
Title: Re: NEW BOW OR RANCH WHITETAIL HUNT
Post by: h2ofowlr on October 09, 2013, 09:15:44 AM: Buy both, no dilemma. Pay cash for the hunt and put the bow on the C.C. You will have until next season to pay it off. :chuckle:

Or just buy the hunt and get the bow in August when it is worth half it's original value.
Title: Re: NEW BOW OR RANCH WHITETAIL HUNT
Post by: irishevox on October 09, 2013, 09:17:55 AM: Yeah I am leaning more toward the hunt after some new discoveries I do like that bow
Title: Re: NEW BOW OR RANCH WHITETAIL HUNT
Post by: lostbackpacker on October 09, 2013, 09:21:01 AM: buy the bow
Title: Re: NEW BOW OR RANCH WHITETAIL HUNT
Post by: blacktailcody on October 09, 2013, 09:27:21 AM: Not that bow.
Title: Re: NEW BOW OR RANCH WHITETAIL HUNT
Post by: Eli346 on October 09, 2013, 04:51:39 PM: I voted the bow as I don't think 2 days is a very good hunt for a big buck but if I already had a decent bow I'd take the hunt. I never wanted to spend the money on a hunt like that but it would be kinda funto to once.

Post by: deerhunter_98520 on October 09, 2013, 05:04:26 PM: Buy the bow and use your credit card for the hunt then use your brand new bow on your hunt :chuckle:
Title: Re: NEW BOW OR RANCH WHITETAIL HUNT
Post by: actionshooter on October 09, 2013, 05:19:04 PM: I would do the hunt, its all about the experiences and memories.
The material things can be bought later if you want it. A deal on a really good hunt won't be there.
Title: Re: NEW BOW OR RANCH WHITETAIL HUNT
Post by: irishevox on October 09, 2013, 09:25:29 PM: it's a crazy good deal... for a great price....
