Fun Thread, What All Have You Hunted?
« on: March 25, 2012, 01:32:00 PM »
Let's see what all the trad gang members have hunted (successfully or not) with traditional gear.

This serves two purposes - 1. We get to read some cool stuff and maybe hear some game stories we aren't familiar with. 2. It gives me ideas I may not have thought of.


I've only hunted whitetail deer a couple of times with a recurve quite a few years ago. This is going to change as soon as my new bow gets here.

After, reading through the pages here, I remembered that we do have some hogs and I'm probably going to give that a try soon. Rabbits and squirrels are probably out for me because I save all the good spots for those for my falconry hobby.

So, what do you guys hunt with your sticks and string?

Deer, turkeys, groundhogs, boar, coyotes ---

...and for an ear-to-ear grin, squirrels from a tree stand (especially near the corner of a corn field in the fall). Now that is fun.

Sucessfully - Rabbit, Squirrel, Coyote, Carp, and Turkey

Unsuccesfully - Whitetail deer, and bobcat

Haven't gone after anything else with a bow yet, but I would like to try some wing shooting on pheasant or grouse. Sadly Missouri doesn't have many of either of those.
I'd absolutely love to hunt Elk or Mulies with my recurve or longbow, but we don't have mulies and just recently got some elk from Ky. which are now being restored to Missouri. Maybe someday I'll get to hunt elk in my home state, but doubtful.

We do have some hogs, but not where I live. I have wanted to go after hogs ever since I started bowhunting. Maybe someday I'll get to line up a hunt for hogs.

Whitetails, Mulies, Elk, and hope to someday hunt bear, antelope and hogs. Small game is Cottontails, Snowshoes, Grouse, Beaver and squirrels of various species. I've been trying to kill a coyote off and on for years, but so far no dice...

Just picked up my grandfathers recurve, so I haven't had a chance to hunt anything with it yet besides stumps and targets! But will be turkey hunting soon with it, whitetail and yotes this fall
