My conclusion from a few good comments and talking to people that hunt here is yes, bowhunting the west you can be successful doing it, the advantage is you'll have a longer time out there. You'll be making longer shots unlike the East and West Coast but having a elevated rest will give you the...
Good job man, that's some good shot placement. Well I've been doing it for about 3 years in another state, only got game with firearms. Hoping it'll be better here
I see mule deer, turkey and pronghorn all the time here but it's always different when the season hits. That's a good confidence booster lol I just don't want to put the money down and the loads of work of running around to never eat anything is all.
I live in Wyoming now, I have no problem putting the work and the money in to get out and backpack in the bighorns, I'm just wondering if bowhunting is either a idea or a reality here sence it's wide open here.
Instagram is for teenagers and people going through a midlife crisis, I'm out to harvest game, to get away from the city and experience the mountain trips. If bowhunting here leaves you years with a empty chest freezer I want no part of it, that's why I'm asking everyone.
I still have another year before hunting in Wyoming, will bowhunting in the west just wasted effort? Is it a challenge or just unsuccessful is what I am asking. I love my bow and I love shooting it but I also don't want to spend wasted years with a empty freezer.
With wolves, lions, moose and bears out in the wilderness here should I carry a firearm for protection or am I just overthinking situations out here. Could always just kick em really hard if they get to close. What's your thoughts?
That's the distance I thought, my point on is at 30 yards and I've been practicing on a small bag target, RIP to the arrows I've broke lol but I am getting better at it
I've recently moved to Wyoming and am currently practicing bowhunting for next year, for anyone that has bowhunted here what was the average shot distance and what game was it on?
