Great shooting - I got my first one with a fishing arrow and a reel when I was 12. I was shooting pike and this goose came right up the eddy. I didn't even hesitate, I just drew and let fly. Well the arrow flew true and under the wing and through the otherside and thn the fight was on...FULL ON.
It was flapping around and me trying to reel her in...she was PISSED....and not dying fast at all.
I pulled her up outta the water and she was running right at me hissing and flapping her wings.
I dropped the bow and ran backwards...wish there had been a video of this one. I ran and grabbed a big stick and clubbed her one and she was down.
About that time I had to clean my shorts. I put her in my backpack along with a couple of pike I got and I was off home.
Dad freaked. He couldn't believe I got it with my bow, but she tasted great.
