**Elk and Moose bow hunting**
I've been watching some extreme Elk and Moose bow hunting on YouTube and I've got to say I find this so out of my comfort zone.
Do any of you across the pond go bow hunting and what is it what makes you do this?
I've spent a fair amount of time watching these bizarre videos and its completely a different world to me but I'm struggling to find the excitement these guys have about bow hunting. Its huge business and a massive past time I'm kinda of addicted to watching them though lolLast edited by marcus300; 05-31-2018 at 05:26 AM.

Yes, love bow hunting! You have to get close, really close! Those videos are crazy! I haven’t been on any moose or elk hunt yet but would love the chance to. Not sure about a moose but would love to pack my freezer with some elk meat.
Hey Marcus, guess what, there is also bow fishing!!! And bow fishing with titties! Haha! Yes, I’m a sick cunt!

Haha, figured you would like that one!
I hunt whitetail deer, wild hogs, and rabbits.
I need to practice, been a while since I have last shot. I am also trying to set up a bow with the fishing gear so when you come to South Louisiana, I can show you how to do it with bikini girls on the boat!

Im not really for hunting at all when the world is so saturated with imprisoned animals bred to be eaten but bow hunting seems to be an unnecessary inhuman way to kill just because its more fun than shooting.
If youre going to hunt take a rifle and shoot the poor fucker in the head to end it quickely.

More time away from the wife hunting. I have some friends that bow due to the season is open earlier than rifle season is and it takes a lot of skill to hunt with a bow. And you have to be good at calling them in close. People have hunted with a bow a lot longer than with a firearm. It really gives the animal a huge advantage. If you ever go bow hunting take a cameria. You will get more "shots" of wildlife with the cameria than you will with the bow.

David your back, we will pick the interview back up mate
I understand about time for yourself but why kill with a bow, whats the pleasure aspect of it why kill and play games calling it in? kind of lost it alittle bit as I was watching them. Its like so bizarre to me I just wanted to understand more from a bow hunter why

I think it is more of the thrill of the hunt. The hunters see a lot of wildlife but do not get to shoot much. They also have to practice a lot so it is a skill. Anyone can get good with a firearm but not so much with a bow. With a firearm you can kill over 300 meters away but with a bow you have to be around 7.5 meters away. Most people I know that hunt with a bow think of it as more sporting while I think it is dull as hell. But with Elk and Moose you have to be very good, that is a very large animal that can kill you if you mess up you shot.
I have heard people say that anyone can kill with a firearm but it takes a professional to kill with a bow.

Hunting helps control the population of the wild animals and they are good to eat. If you ever see Elk on a menu order it. You will see why people hunt it. As for deer and other animals, they are good eats as well and fill up the freezer cheaper than buying at the store.

Yes.... I can see that especially in the USA and the food industry and mass production. I can see where your coming from. Isnt there any grass feed meats available?
Mmmmm I know a lot of guys love the thrill of the hunt and I guess that's what bothers me, I fail to see the enjoyment but I suppose if you tell someone that I lifted heavy weights off the floor for the last 33 yrs they would think I was some lunatic.
I know hogs are under the pest control but are elk?

I have a pest controller in my immediate family. Theres is a big difference between pest control and hunting. Pest control needs to be done.
Getting your jollies and looking forward to killing is completely different.
Fox hunting was a hot topic over here a while back. Its just nonsense for sadistic people that enjoys ending lives.
Its a load of shite. Just pure shite in my opinion of course.
Different culture over here clearly.
No disrespect you guys over the pond of course

I do think its bizarre and not needed when hunters say its for pleasure and the thrill, I think your right and most probably down to the culture and what you have been brought up with.
The fox hunting soon got disabled but the protests were insane and rightly so when the dogs would rip them to bits, if its needed maybe shoot them but for pleasure wasn't ever going to be the norm.

Hunting controls wildlife poplulation. Man is their preditor. We killed off a lot of wolves and bears here in North American over the generation.
Hunting again controls population, keep the wildlife populations healthy and whatnot. Deer around here cause a lot of damage and people hit them with their cars every day. Hunting also gets people out doors and enjoying nature. And wild game taste a lot different than farm raised animals. You just have to know how to cook it.
I dont know anyone that hunts to hurt animals, they try to kill them as quickly as possible. People that just kill animals to kill animals are in a different class of people.

Bow season is earlier when they are just into a rut (aka horney as hell) but you have to be good with a bow. If you suck with a bow then you should not be hurting with one. If you wound game then the meat can spoil and cause the animal to suffer. (Not Cool) I have a crossbow and will go out sometimes but I have my camera with me and take a lot of pictures. I have never been close enough to take a shot. But trust me the arrows they use are just as deadly as a firearm if your aim is true.
FYI - I hunt squirrel with everything but an arrow. From a pellet gun, a 22, AR-15 and a shotgun. They are just rats with tails to me. I do skin them and feed them to the dogs or sometimes I will fry one up but they are pretty lean and not very good like rabbit.

some people are mean. you can do the same thing with a dead animal. I do know some country guys that when teaching young site hounds to hunt coyote they might shoot them in the leg and turn the dogs loose. I do not agree with it but some people do shit like that. I have also seen mcuh older men trap wild rabbits and put a stick in the legs and hang them upside down so they will yell and call in the coyotes. (They learned this from their parents or grandparents and is not done much anymore) A preditor call works just as well and is not cruel like that. I am soft hearted when it come to animals.

Problem with grass fed beef and all that is it is ridiculously expensive here in Sweden. Like $30 for a kilo of meat, and it isn't fresh either it's been in a package with preservative to keep it's colour for a month.
I'd imagine hunting for good quality meat but too much of an effort. Rather raise some goat or something and give it a quick death before butchering it.Last edited by cousinmuscles; 05-31-2018 at 09:06 AM. Reason: Autocorrect made goat to cost

Im always public enemy number one with these topics but i do hope i havent upset anyone it wasnt my intention.
I dont understand the appeal to hunting and it sickens me personally. Whatever anyone else does is on their on conscience.

Yep... Lets cut a 400lb bulls balls off and burn his horns of with a cauterizing iron never letting him know freedom and then pop him in the head.
Much more humane.
Is everyone in euope vaginas that forgot the basic instincts of man?
