I finally connected on harvesting my first trad bow ungulate after switching to my Pronghorn Nighthawk longbow 3 years ago. Bighorn sheep ewe at 15 yards.

Got this boar today with the ASL. It was the longest shot I’ve ever taken with a bow at 35 yards with the bear up in a tree that was swaying like crazy. Took me two arrows: one pretty high in the chest/spine, and a second arrow through the liver and guts.

North Idaho stickbow, did you use the JDBerry?

That was indeed the Berry

Nice! Weight on the bear?

230 after gutting! Easily my biggest one.

Here's my kill this week.

I shanked an 8 yard shot at a bull after the cows he was with nearly....I mean 10" from my hand as I held at full draw close, bumped around me. I had great warning with the shadows coming from behind them....it was perfect. The bull crossed at 8 yards and true to myself, I soaked a 190gr simmons into a branch hidden in the fireweed. I was certain he was smoked so when he stopped to look over his shoulder at 18 yards....I didn't shoot. I watched him hit a flat bench at 80 and he had no holes!

I stepped out my shot and found that arrow. Shit.

Next day I have a 24 yard shot with a sapling covering the vitals so I pass.

Since then I haven't had a shot and proceeded to break my riser coming down a nasty hill.

Good riddance as that damn thing was more into wood than fur. I have a wheel bow in my hands as a get by till tomorrow when I can run to town and grab my toelkes.

I can feel your pain! Zipped pinky sized twig and deflected over a herd bull at 8 yards after 45 cows passed in front of me… so exhilarating

I've never seen a better bull in Idaho than the one I whiffed on. At least I have this....
