2014 bow season

[bigdawg]

That I would start a bow hunting thread for this yr...... Who's hunting what ? And where? This will be my first yr bow hunting Elk and super exited, been out doing some scouting and got a couple trail cams up hunting north of mountain aire lodge to Caroline.

This will be my third season with the bow, I'm hunting in wmu336. Have had the cameras out for some time now with some decent activity. While we have a few elk in the area, they are few and far between. With any luck I'm hoping to get close enough to put one in the freezer. Other than that will be chasing whitetail again.

Nice pics on the trail cams Sammy, was out today and go a line on the elk.... lots of tracks/scat trail cam in place and see what happens

Nice pics Sammy. I got my cow elk draw in 336 so hoping to put some meat in the freezer.

Everything on 4 legs is actually legal at the farm during bow season. I shoot what ever comes in range first, not to picky on stuffing the freezer.
Trail cams have evrything but elk, they are especially rare to see. Usually come to eat hay bales in mid to late December after season is closed, fuggin tourist elk from the park need to come visit a little earlier.

Gonna try to get a bull moose in 318 with the 60lb bear Montana long bow this year. Maybe an elk if I can get one within 30yds.

That white tail in the first pic would be a nice one to get!

Looks like you took two reminder hits to not lock your elbow. Imagine that with the old style metal string nocks.
I still like the bow more than the guns, everybody takes the odd hit but that there is one of the better ones I've seen.
When you get a kill in it will be worth it!

My brother in law gave me a goofy look when I asked him if he could accurately shoot his bow without using his release.

I cant. Lol

I had no choice 2 years ago as I forgot my release sitting on the shop bench. Kind of a chitty feeling once you get 4hrs from home, camp set up and then something is missing.

I just bought a PSE Drive from Exsile outdoors in Lloydminster and can't wait to hunt with it. Since I bought it I can't work or do anything productive, all I think about is hunting. Its unreal how addicting it is to shoot a bow. Anyone in the Lloyd area that is considering getting into archery, don't waste your time driving to Edmonton go to Exsile!! These guys are passionate about bow hunting and they can setup anything!

I guess some game will be taken this weekend. Im trying for bull moose. Someone going to start a post your pic thread?

To warm yet for me for big game so I am still going to goose hunt with the Mosberg, once i have a few I will be trying the bow though!
I am going to post in this section.

No moose, only 1 ruffle with the 12ga compound. Only seen 1 WT doe? To warm probably, but the snow is here!

 

[bigdawg]

Not much success here either been out 12 days see the elk and buck WTs but just can't get them to come in close enough soon I will be hanging some game hopefully, warm weather is not helping and the elk are not bugling wtf ......
