I have learned a lot from the Pond Boss people this year about deer hunting and have started applying this new knowledge at our farm.
Most deer hunters I know eventually move on to bow hunting, once it becomes "easy" to harvest freezer venison with a rifle. The bonus is that you might be able to bag a big buck during the early bow season.
I think I am an average to below average shot with a rifle. (So I don't attempt any difficult shots.)
Question for the expert and new bowhunters:
What is the maximum range (that you are comfortable) taking a shot with a clean view?
Also, if you are a good shot, how much would you reduce that range for an average shooter?
I am not quite ready to move to bowhunting. However, I want to start evaluating how many good "bowhunting" opportunities I observe in the next few years based on blind observations and camera pics.
P.S. Any bow recommendations for an average shooter that will only shoot 1-2 arrows per year hunting, plus training shots?
Thanks, FishinRod
