Thread: Are there any fellow Bowhunters here on SRP?

Yep!

However, we don't have ANY big deer, here in Illinois.

So, there is no sense in anyone coming here to hunt whitetail.

Strictly a backyarder atm but one day.

All year long,,,,,,,, That would be fun!

The only trouble with that that I can see is that around here many of us hunt the later part of the season that is colder. If you shoot them late in the evening and can't find them until morning cold is good!

I can't say I go bow hunting. I do shoot the raccoons the hound trees. Oh and I take pot shots at the coyotes when I can.

Dang coyotes have been more common in recent years. I got a antler less buck one year Thanksgiving morning. Not a bambi! A few years old. They were broke off under hair level. Maybe it ran into a car?????

I field dressed it and opened it up to cool. Snow on the ground. Barely made it in for dinner on time. My son and niece offered to go get it for me. I couldn't turn down that offer! With about 2 hours gone by when they arrived the chased off the coyotes that had started chewing on the hind quarters.

Not much lost so all is well that ends well.
