Thread: How is your bow hunting going?

There doesn’t seem to be a lot happening on the archery section of the forum. For you bow hunters, who has been getting out for a walk?

I managed to leave the rifle at home for the first time in a while over the weekend. Left home late morning after finishing work on Sunday, an hour later arrived to the car park into one of the popular public land blocks here in Marlborough. Strapped the bow to my pack and climbed for the next 3 hours into a basin to look for a deer on evening. Over the next couple of hours I glassed with no luck, only picking up a few goats but no deer. With the day getting on I decided to make a stalk on a mob of goats before heading back to the Ute. Got within 10m to one billy and put an arrow in him, beauty.
I kept making my way down the hill checking a couple of clearings on the way, one of the clearings had a nice boar on it. I got to 40m before the wind swirled and the pig lived to see another day. By then it was almost dark so I picked up the pace and made it to the Ute right on dark.
