Hunting - Crossbows

[GDS_Starfury]

hence the lack of outdoorsmen/hunting cred.

rugged amateur paleontologists don't wear/use pink...

if I ever meet one or interact with one online, I'll be sure to remember that

Wholesale Sports has a sale going on until Nov 10th 20 - 25% off bows and bow accessories.  Their mail order service sucks but their in-store staff has been great in my dealings with them.  I think they've got some shops up near that frozen hellhole you call home.

Crossbows, Bows, automatic weapons, dynamite etc. are not part of it...

what would be more natural than hunting with a bow ! ;D

especially if the bow and arrows in question may have been made by hand yourself   ...well, after attending some lectures, which get teached at natural history museums 'n such.... and lots of target practice.

yeah, its against the hunting-law here, and allways will be -not because of the animals not dead on the spot!
No, cause of the rich dentists, layers, landlords  and company-owner  hunting-area-renter crowd want to keep it exclusive & traditional in their 'upper-class' circles... just like in the past, hunting is for the nobles.

Not all traditional hunter's in Germany are straight-shooters. Some also just wound the deer or wild-pig  and it has to be tracked down for hours in the undergrow with trained dogs.
Also those especially feed the game in winter, there is already to much game running in the woods (the wood owner complain already) just so the game survives to have a nice target rich hunting environment next season. 
Hypocrisy!

around here, the hunting season is relatively short, but you reminded me that wild boar is considered a pest around here (year round hunting, no licence required). I wonder what wild boar bacon tastes like?

lets us know when you got it prepared :) .... and maybe think about taking a GoPro cam on your boar hunts 8)

Hmmm, I can see a plan unfolding here. I wonder if those gopros could mount on the crossbow ... perhaps over the scope?

getting <60 yards from a wild boar could be a worthy challenge.....

Unless you also carry a spear or sword.

I went quail hunting today.

My buddy gave me a package of wild pig sausage.

Where I live, a lot of land owners will let you go shoot pigs for free.  Outside of deer season, you can hunt wild pigs over bait.

Let me know how it tastes Attaboy. I definitly am considering a wild pig hunt.
