[QUOTE="Ckgworks, post: 1530801, member: 105102"] This is where I screwed up......I learned how to sharpen knives, and bought a big grinder, so I get invited to the meat cutting parties. :rolleyes: Or as JJMoody said,as the Horse. (Although I'm more of a pony when it comes to packing) I think there is something to the lack of shock and adrenaline rush when killing an animal with a bow vs a rifle..... When in AK moose hunting I helped a couple guys cut up their moose. When shot it was heading towards a river so they continued to shoot, in an effort to drop it. It was shot 5 times, all good vital hits with a 300 win mag at 150 yards and it still covered almost 200 yards. This left me feeling a little nervous about my bow....But when the time came, the moose I shot ran less than 30 yards, and was legs up before I got to full draw for a second shot.....This has also been my experience with Elk....A SHARP broadhead in the lungs is a highly effective kill, and it pains me to see some calling others "Unethical Hunters" just for using a bow.....Both rifles and bows are tools and it is up to each person to use their tools in such a way that results in a clean kill of whatever we are pursuing........
