[QUOTE="Turpentine21, post: 2681833, member: 124909"] There was a time I would only hunt with a cedar arrow and my homemade Longbow or Recurve. Nothing matches that for pure excitement and sense of satisfaction for me. I remember every deer and hog I shot with the recurve and longbow, vividly. That puts you as close to the game as you are going to get. You learn more about those animals and all the animals around you. It takes effort every day to stay accurate, It’s a different mindset. Plus you have to deal more with disappointment. Bowhunting for me was a passion. It requires you to operate and hunt in the animals world. I would rather kill one deer or hog with a bow, than 25 with a rifle. I can’t draw a bow and shoot now, so that sport has been taken from me and I miss it. Rifle hunting is much more forgiving. But you do have to know your game. Its not easy, but it’s a whole lot easier. I’ve always said with rifle hunting you can stay in your world to hunt and the animal can stay in his. [/QUOTE]
