THE BOW HUNTER
- Thread starter Uncle Buck
- Start date
Recently got a couple of Tru Glo products. Activator release with Boa tension and Carbon extreme sight. Both awesome. Only I cross threaded the perpendicular sight clamp screw. Replaced it with a stainless M4.
Way ahead of Chinese and these have been out for some years now.
USA leading the way.

While you are on here I watch this chap and you see him hike down/back with or without a friend without rifles on public land
So i asked him where is the rifle, "we take the bolt out and ammo and tuck it under a bush"
Yes that is what he said as they dont have the rifles on the recovery, thought it was April 1st
The odd rifle is found in a rusty condition, from days when gps was unavailable, hidden and not retrieved.
Stop grasping a straws
Walking in with "weapons"
Hiking in to recover deer with "no weapons"
15.35 where are the "weapons" ?

And you guys worry about what tray to use for recovery.
The only tray I use is one the deer lay in on the way home (then to the game dealer
), use a trolly but don't tuck the rifle under the hedge while recovering the deer.When the rifle is going to be "out of sight" for a recovery it is secured in the truck then recover the deer, not tucked under a bush lol
Ooops a Tray

I guess you've never heard of Rusa, Sambar and Tahr - but close enough if you don't care about accuracy, eh Tim?Also Lee all their deer were imported
2 from 6 for us with Fallow since the Normans brought them back.
We should send them some Muntjac aka "where the #uck are they"
No, deer are not native to New Zealand. All wild populations are the descendants of species introduced from Europe and North America between the 1850s and early 1900s by acclimatization societies aiming to replicate European hunting.
Strictly speaking, Tahr arent deer - but they definitely count as game animals.
I heard they are not native of NZ
Sambar deer in New Zealand are a large, elusive Asiatic species found exclusively in the central and lower North Island, primarily in the Bay of Plenty and Manawatū-Whanganui regions. Introduced in 1875,
When i was staying in a DOC hut on a hunting trip in NZ there was a note in the hut log book asking visitors to keep an eye out for a rifle that had been "misplaced". It had been lent against a tussock while recovering a deer and the guy got turned around and never found it. Easily done when you look at how big the country is. Could well still be there
That would mean they made it back to the car with the deer/meat loaded up and drove home, puts a new spin on leaving the passport at home while trying to check in at the Airport.
The hut was 2 days walk from the road and where they lost the rifle was best part of a day's walk from the hut. I dont know but I imagine they lost it in the dark and had to get back to the hut, probably went back to look the following day, I know I would, but in country like that weather and distance are much more of a deciding factor than they are here.That would mean they made it back to the car with the deer/meat loaded up and drove home, puts a new spin on leaving the passport at home while trying to check in at the Airport.
Is it not specifically prohibited in 1The Countryside and Wildlife Act?The only reason it’s illegal is because of the 1968 act that didn’t specify it as a legal method. Nothing more or less, it was never outlawed and again let’s take a look at who makes the law of the land that rules over the rural ? Oh yeh your posh toff city dwelling bawbags who have never seen a cow in a field let alone a deer. Any archer who is competent with a Bow would have zero issues placing an arrow on a deer.. especially with the modern equipment we have today. I’ve done archery for 3 years now, I can hit a 4” bullseye in a 3” group with consistency out to 70yrds zero issues. Archery is all about knowing your equipment and it’s a fk tonne more complicated to set up than any rifle ever will be but if your competent and know your equipment and ability’s there is zero reason a big broadhead steered through a nice heavy arrow shaft wouldn’t kill a deer as quickly or humanely as a gun.
Facts are facts
I’d like to see it legal here there is zero reason for it not to be. Unlike your rifle you shoot from 120yrds your maybe 30yrds generally off a deer with your arrow and using your tuned bow with fixed pin or adjustable sight your never gonna miss the wrong spot.
Put it in the right place to work ? What a field with deer ?
Stop being so narrow minded as to thinking
The bullet from a gun is the only ethical way because it isn’t I promise you. And Yes I’ve used my bow abroad

People may be narrow minded but Its a genuine useful tool in the tool box, suppressors are cool and all but they still disturb deer, If bows ever came too the hunting scene I would want a mandated shooting test similar too DSC1 I dont think people should be able too pick up compounds and shoot them like rifles with no thought, but logistically I do believe some sort of mandated test regardless of the weapon should be a thing a rifle whilst easy too shoot still has many variables that people should know.
Bows are incredibly lethal, and with crossbows utilised instead the accuracy and consistency Its more akin too a rifle, whilst the yanks arent always sensible they've been developing bow tech for years now the crossbows especially are just a significantly quieter rifle at the core limited too range yes, but no ones stalking around with them usually and shooting deer in the middle of big open fields there sitting in high seats with them, the problem with the yanks Is just anyone can pick a bow up and go shoot deer with it.
There great for narrow travel corridors picking of deer with minimal stress, instead of blasting deer in the middle of fields with rifles and they then go nocturnal not long after, not too mention there fantastic for high activity areas where a rifle wouldn't be suitable but an arrow instead would
We at one point had a chance too allow archery hunting here in the UK but the performer that was demonstrating was an absolutely clueless buffoon that couldn't hit the broadside of a barn that's not really fair for the people that genuinely spend time perfecting there skills, I do feel like archery equipment being licensed perhaps sets is up for it but I think Its still very far.

I’m pretty sure it’s just not specified as a legal method and therefore it’s deemed unlawful
Either way, the bow was a fine method for thousands of years but come 1968 well it just became unethical
Some will say well Guns are more ethical, give it a few decades they’ll say hunting all together isn’t aswell

there is nothing so sure as the end game is the eradication of hunting and the private ownership of firearms and other methods of hunting
pay attention , we are witnessing the end of our sport
This Chap has it right on the money.

Something we can agree on then because it sure is, question is Why? Why they so desperate to disarm people who own them for lawful means and hunting overall
To my mind the only people who want to disarm people are people up to no good.
