Do Hoosiers hunt trad????
« on: November 11, 2016, 07:26:00 PM »
So here in my neck of the woods (northeast indiana) everyone hunts, everyone. I work in a shop with at least 40 hunters so you would think I would know someone who hunted trad. NOPE!

What's going on here Indiana? I seriously do not have a single fellow trad hunter. There's plenty of people who want to, knew someone who use to, has a uncle who did, or use to but no one who still does.

So where are all my fellow Hoosiers at? I at least want to know I'm not alone out here lol

Jeffroa2001 and I are both here in northeast Indiana.  There's a few more guys I know in the area. Probably half a dozen or so.

Good deal, I was beginning to think longbows and recurves were just cool wall hangers around here   :)

Vigo County, right on the Illinois line, probably a dozen guys around here that I know and shoot with and at least that many more that I don't spread over the Vermillion, Vigo and Sullivan counties.

I'm in Southern Indiana. I know of a few guys that hunt trad but really it's only me and my hunting buddy that I see regularly.

I do in southern indiana.  Trad hunters around but obviously not as common as compounds and boom sticks.  If your in NE indiana you need to go check out 3 Rivers Archery.  Warehouse is open to public on Saturdays.  Worth the trip.  Come down to the Trad shoot in Cloverdale next June and you will meet some Hoosier Trad Hunters.

I actually bought my first bow from 3 rivers, and shortly after went back to get my fiance her first bow. Great people, love doing business with them.  I'd also like to check out kustom king archery, not too far away either

I'm up near South Bend, not to far North of you. I was thinking I'm the only one to hunt trad at kingsbury(fairly positive that I'm the only one that still hunts there). I'm down your way a fair ampunt to fish if you ever wanna stump shoot.
