Anyone get burned out on compound "does"?

[Bowdark]

Not me. The doe here behind the casa don't pattern, they really don't. They have it too good during bow season around here, too much browse and min.blocks and feeders and big tanks(mine and the gun hunter neighbors). Thing is, Bow season is Doe season in my county. If anyone would like me to kill some doe for them in trade for farm/handywork let me know.

i never get tired of shooting meat .... love that THWAACK sound

[Jaybo31]

I believe if I ever got like that I would have to quit. Still shake like its my first deer all over again.

Just go trad. The excitement will return.

Get a longbow and the feeling will be back- I went thro9ugh the same thing as you. Killed plenty of critters with a training wheels and it got like a rifle when I was shooting hogs and does. I wouldnt get the shakes at all. Missed my first shot with a longbow. Shot a doe about an hour later and it was as good as the first deer I shot with my wheels. Ive shot about 15 critters with a wood bow now and every one of them is a trophy and gets my knees knocking.

no, it doesn't matter if I am about to shoot a raccoon - If I am hunting a particular animal and that animal comes into view I start getting the "fever"

[hereford]

I still get all kindsa stirred up when I shoot a big buck with my compound. But ive noticed for several years now shootin does with my compound is kinda like shootin rabbits now. Even at my place in Hardin County were the deer are highly pressured and dont come out in the daylight too much. Ive been thinkin I may stick with compounds when I have my buck tag to fill and the fact I love tinkerin with em so much. But I'm really thinkin going total Trad on does and such. To me huntin is about that big knot i get in my stomach when i start to tighten the string up. Its gone with the does with my compound. Yes I do love the meat as well. Maybe its just a phase. Anyone else go or goin thru this???

Maybe you should take up Traditional, that way everything is a trophy.

Thats why I stopped hunting high fences.. Way too easy.

But yes, I went through that before...once. Get a not so great of a place and you will get the fever back real quick..after a few hunts of getting busted or not seeing anything.

So why hunt this place where you may not see a deer the entire season if you have a place where you can kill all you want?

102? Who keeps count like that?

And even if you hunt East Tx style and get 1 per month year round thats 9 years. How long you been bowhunting?

You should go with Trad gear if it makes hunting more fun.

i drew back on a coon a couple of weeks ago and was more shaky than i am with deer. I have no clue why but he did kinda sneak up on me so maybe that was it.

[Maroon Blade]

then how do you say shooting a doe is like shooting rabbits?

if you dont see em for a month. then may see one or two. you would still have the excitement...

Time is waaaay to valuable to hunt like that knowing you have very little chance at seeing something...I grew up doing that and won't ever do it again. You've gotta hunt where the animals are, bottom line..... I'm gonna hunt where I know I'm gonna see a variety of and that's all there is to it.....

Obviously you don't keep a count like that. Since you don't do it and it's not your way then you should look down upon him for doing so....

He said 102 big game animals too so there you go assuming again..... There a plenty of folks who kill alot of
Deer/hogs, etc with their bows so no need to go questioning how long someone's been hunting, etc........

I do, the buck I shot at the first of the season was my 36th animal shot with a bow and 34th recovered.

[Maroon Blade]

no...

havent shot a deer with my bow in 12 years... I have bad hunting spots with few deer, and if I do see one they are so spooky I cant even get drawn...

come hunt my place for a while, and maybe you will get excited when you just see deer!!!

pigs are fun though...

Im getting the rifle out...

good luck to you...

Leave the rifle at home brother...get it done with a bow, I'll give you all the deer meat you need until you connect!! Be a redneck archer!!

[Texastaxi]

Jason, I think you would get more of a thrill if you WATCHED someone else shoot some deer with a compound. You have my number!

Do you keep count of how many negative comments you make, on this forum?
I know a few guys that kill over 100 hogs, in a single year. Those are big game, right?
