Title: Bowhunting geese, anyone?
Post by: Bowhunter57 on May 06, 2007, 03:08:33 PM
I'm going to bowhunt geese, during Ohio's early season, this fall. I'll be using a groundblind, like the guys from Double Bull Archery, a few decoys, a laser rangefinder, my bow and a few arrows.

To see what I'm going to attempt, take a look at these videos:
www.livehunt.com/video
Click on: Video Catagory: Double Bull Archery
Click on: Sub Catagory: Another year on the ground IV
Then select Part 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 of 47. Each one is an individual video.

Has anyone else tried this? I've shot geese with a bow, but not from a blind, just full camo. Looks like fun!

Thank you, Bowhunter57

Man I'd hate to be the guy in a Jon-boat bass fishing on the other side of the slough  :laf:

Yeah, well, maybe I forgot to mention that this goose hunt will be done on the land. In the Double Bull Archery videos that's how they're hunting and I wouldn't dream of trying it on the water. If a shot at a goose is missed, the loss of arrows would be serious.  :rolleye:

Good hunting, Bowhunter57

I think it looks like alot of fun! I would probably lose alot of arrows and not get a damn thing.

cb223,
It's called hunting, brother, not getting. As long as you're having fun, that's what it's all about.  :wink:

I agree completely.  One of these days I'm going to try turkey hunting with my bow. I think that would be fun and a good challenge.
