Squirrel Hunting with Primitive Bow (Video)
« on: January 31, 2016, 11:07:36 am »
Hey guys, been a while since I posted here, but I thought I'd share a video I recently uploaded to YouTube where I'm hunting squirrels with my bow.  The link is below.  For me this is the most fun I have hunting every year...I LOVE squirrel hunting!  For those of you who didn't get a chance to hunt much this year, or for those of you who did but may not have been successful, here's a little pick-me-up.  Know that it's not easy, but with practice and persistence, you'll eventually be successful. 
Enjoy!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmknaWwGEvQ

Great video, always enjoy your hunts. Shooting up into the trees I wonder why you don't use a flu-flu type fletching ??

Nice job! I do some rat shooting from time to time with my bows, and man are they fast critters too. Mostly impressed by your arrows.

Try rabbits a few times. Squirrels will come much, much easier for you. A semi-still target is an easy target most often. Targets moving 10-15 mph are difficult, to say the least.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

That was a great video Billy.  I was watching it last night while I was grilling and got so engrossed in the action that I overcooked my burgers.

I always watch your videos. need some more knapping ones.  I really liked the glass buttes trip, and of course your bow building series.  8)

Fun watch! Musta taken ya much time/effort to get the footage.
... alone in distant woods or fields, in unpretending sproutlands or pastures tracked by rabbits, even in a bleak and, to most, cheerless day .... .  I suppose that this value, in my case, is equivalent to what others get by churchgoing & prayer.  Hank Thoreau, 1857
