I think I am going to start bow hunting this year. I have woods behind my house that has some decent sized bucks. I have an old compound bow that is 25ish years old. Anyone have a recommendation on a bow? I would like something up to 85 pound draw. What do you shoot? What do you hunt?

i shot a deer with my crossbow last year but i didnt die. i think next year im just gonna aim for its head so it doesn't ricochet off its ribbs again

>>2830979
lol no kidding I heard head was harder than ribs

>>2830979
you probably didnt hit the vitals
animals can go for hundreds of yards even if you hit the vitals

>>2830974 (OP)
i shoot a takedown bow at 50lb draw for 28incjes max distance is currently 30 yards.
going bow hunting this weekend

net hunting is the real patricians choice

>>2830982
clay hayes shot a hog in one of his trips and it ran 200 yards before it dropped

>>2830979
>ricochet
wait are you using broadheads on your bolts? This is only something i can see happen if you use fieldpoints

>>2830986
from a pistol crossbow probably. sounds like a ninja hunter

About as humane as killing them with a fork

>>2830998
why even kill a deer, it's not like he's starving. and with a commercially bought equipment at that. if he at least made his own, I could kinda understand the pauper/postapocalypse train of thought.

>>2830998
You don't give a fuck about humane

>>2830998
if you miss

Not OP, in my area, deer are like a plague. They disrupt farming and make driving dangerous. If it weren't for the hunting that currently is practiced, we'd have a lot less corn and onions, a bunch of emaciated deer, and high insurance premiums.

how many cocks have you sucked?

based af

killing an animal just because will not make you a man or enlarge your micropenis. loser

>>2831101
neither does hiking or camping, faggot.
There is a lot more to do outdoors than going camping once a year for 3 days out of the year with an entire house worth of gear. And there isnt anytning special about hiking.
Get off your high horse.

>>2831101
your post says more about you than it does me

>>2831101
In many cultures around the world including the United States and europe your first kill in a hunt is actually considered a right of passage

>>2831111
I thought it was your first kill in some shithole like baltimore or miami

>>2831108
you self-described pretty well at the mention of cocksucker

>>2831105
well I do camp and carry my stuff on horses, how did you guess?

>>2830979
>i shot a deer with my crossbow last year but i didnt die
good to hear you are okay!

>>2831022
I really wish this were more commonly understood. The same people who bitch about hunting wouldn't be able to eat their vegan diets without it.

>>2831022
Deer doing God's work disrupting man-made structures
>>2831105
True, but it's unlikely to cause any exterior suffering, so logically hiking is superior to inhumanely killing deers with your 5k fork expeller
>>2831111
tradition =/= good. unless you agree with traditions such as circumcision, but you most likely do

>>2831181
cringe and landlocked

>kill some defenseless animals
this makes someone feel good why?

>>2831242
it's the same as bullying. now you might hear often that bullies are such and such because they were hurt as well, but isn't it quite ugly that causing someone pain relieves the soul? humans are at least semi-demonic, otherwise they'd be healing by helping instead of hurting

this is easily the worst board

>>2831101
Non one is killing deer "just because". It's for food. WIld game is the healthiest food you can eat, and it's also the most ethical way to harvest meat assuming you don't torture the animal to death.

>>2831242
Because we're humans and we evolved to hunt, d'uh.

@2831169
can you respond to me without crying?

>>2831292
well well, it seems a chord was struck there. how old were you at your first fellatio? was he older?

@2831300
you are really obsessed with guy on guy oral
you would benefit from suicide
