Post by: Jacklaroo on November 25, 2014, 10:51:39 PM: I was looking up rules regulations and things of other states im going to visit thinking of taking a few days to hunt. one state offers archery for wolves im just not sure if i could knowly let them get that close. Would you bow hunt wolves?

I've never hunted or used red dot sights before though...if I see one I will probably rely mostly on magazine capacity :mgun:

LMAO! hehe

as far as them getting "that close"... heck yeah. I'd love to take one iwth my longbow at 5 yards... Im not saying I wouldn't have my 44 or 10mm on hand... but I dont think I'd worry about them getting too close for a shot...

After talking to another bow hunter today. He has taken several wolves with his long bow. He enjoys the hunt. I may have to give it a try some day soon. Though im still not sure on that yet. I still need more practice.
