Wyo Gen Archery II - Are you shooting?

[5MilesBack]

I'd shoot him, but I don't really like shooting bulls that I haven't gone round and round with. If I have a good encounter going I already know he's a good bull and I've already made up my mind at that point that I'm shooting whatever he is. But just having one stumble in silently.......that's not really my game, or why I'm out there. That's why I ignore the silent ones that sneak in, and don't worry about busting them out.

Instantly burning my top pin into that mud patch and gently squeezing...

 

[wiarcher]

Without a doubt, I would be shooting.

 

[S.Clancy]

Depends if you're into conservation enough to try a mature animal or if you're wanting to fill your tag above all.

I'd bet that bull is ~6 yrs old. Is that mature enough? Take into account that the world record typical archery bull shot in MT was 6yrs old.....

 

[j_volt]

I am shooting!

As an aside, I completely don't understand the whole "don't pass on the first day what you would shoot on the last day" mantra.

 

[bsween8]

Yes

 

[Buglebrush]

I passed bigger bulls last year. I tell my kids "shoot what gets you excited" for my 10 year old that'd be any elk, but my 17 year old has killed elk and would want a decent bull. This bull doesn't do it for me anymore. Don't let others define success for you.

 

[ElkNut1]

Yep! I've taken quite a few elk & I'd be happy to share a ride home with him! No way would I taint my spirit of the hunt in an effort to please the populous.

Every day all day when leg goes forward he goes down

Same game.

You used 5 PPs to draw a Wyo Gen tag.

You can only hunt the archery season and only have 6 days to hunt.

You’re set up on a wallow and this bull comes in, wallows and starts to walk off.

Distance is 25yds

Are you shooting?

Shoot whatever bull makes you happy!

 

[promo]

unless there's something bigger lingering around... SHOOT!

 

[Bowhunter50]

I would definitely send an arrow his way!

 

[BugleMeTimber]

Judging by my nearly empty game freezer my arrow has been sent.

 

[tdhanses]

Personally any 5x5 and up isn’t getting much of a second thought from me.

 

[NYyotekiller]

I'll let the air outa that one too.

 

[hunterdanman]

Oh yeah!

 

[MallardSX2]

I would burn 15 points on that elk.....just saying.

 

[TripleJ]

Thhwacckkk!

 

[KurtR]

Day one at first light i would not think twice Im shooting. I would not care what weapon i was using bow, rifle, sling shot and would be happy as a hog in shit with that bull

 

[CCooper]

First day shooter for me
