Method/Sportsman. Though for the last 7-8 years I've been in the 'very few properties to hunt stage'.
I seem to be a sucker for very low percentage/impossible hunts with a tradbow.
Well done! Looks like quite an adventure.
The roe deer are bigger than I thought. The skull on that thing looks as big as a fallow.
The finger of God .270win still getting it done. (y)
Anyone combine calling with a decoy?
A feather or some rabbit skin on a string can provide a visual distraction which diverts their attention enough to allow some movement. Especially if bowhunting
There's no doubt it is a low odds proposition with a bow and more so with a trad bow.
Depends on what your priorities are. If you want to shoot one with a bow then you have to use a bow.
PM is fine
I used to have access to a private property for pigs and fallow deer that was like that. I stood still and the wind would blow from each point on the compass in a 5 minute period.
Drove me crazy. It would be like that every time I went there. In those conditions it became unhuntable and I went...
How far below you are we talking about? Topography makes a big difference.
If the hill/mountain is big/steep enough and the wind strong enough it can suck up the hill in the opposite direction to the wind. Just like the low pressure zone immediately behind a large truck on the highway.
An ice axe trekking pole. Pick, adze, flick lock 3 section pole capable of full length trekking pole use yet collapses to 20"-25" for use as ice axe.
Everything currently available is too short when extended or too long when collapsed, crappy head or both.
I made my own using a Black Diamond...
