Crossbows Brings New Hunting Opportunities

I have been hunting whitetail deer with archery equipment for over 20 years now. And have had my share of good luck but that didn’t happen by accident it came with a lot of practice and hard work. Hunting deer with archery equipment is the most exciting and challenging way you can hunt them.
Now that more and more states are legalizing crossbow hunting it opens up a whole new way to pursue the whitetail deer or other legal animals of your choose. A lot of people think using a crossbow is easy and not challenging but not so fast.
If you have never hunted with a crossbow you are missing out. You still need to beat their eyes, ears and noses and get within 50 yards and that’s not easy you experienced hunters will agree with that. It is a must to have good quality archery equipment too. There are a lot of quality crossbows out there like Barnett, Excalibur, Horton, Ten point and there are few others too.
It is very important to have the right archery supplies as well. Number one good quality sharp broad heads, quality arrows, and a good crossbow scope. I also thought crossbow hunting wouldn’t be much of a challenge but I found out different this past year when Michigan finally opened up a crossbow season for everyone in the lower peninsula. It is more than challenging it is just as tough as using other archery equipment. It is also a great way to get the kids and the ladies into hunting and archery.
With the organizations like PETA breathing down our necks trying to have all hunting banned. This is the perfect opportunity to get young people and ladies involved. Crossbows are a lot more user friendly and easier to handle and in return they will have more fun and enjoy it much more. The more kids and ladies we can get into the sport the stronger we grow as hunters and then we can keep the great tradition of hunting alive for our grand children and their children.  With this being said we as hunters need to start to ban together. We need to stop arguing with each other about stupid things like what choose of weapons our fellow hunters choose to go after their game with. This is what organizations like PETA feeds off of.
For us traditional archery freaks like myself I had a hard time putting down my compound bow and giving the crossbow a shot but I’m glad I did it is a blast. That doesn’t mean that I will never hunt again with my compound bow because I will all that it means is now I have new and a little different way to go after the mighty whitetail deer and it is just as exciting believe me. So if you haven’t given a crossbow a shot I challenge you to do so. With the right crossbow, archery supplies and equipment and practice you will open up a whole new and exciting way to hunt the game of your choose and you will be glad you did. Take the time to introduce the lady and children of your life to crossbow hunting. You won’t be only helping this great sport hunting to grow but you will bring your family closer.

About the Author

I was born and raised in Baltimore, MD. I moved to Michigan in 1989. I have been hunting and fishing all of my life but over the last twenty years or so I have hunted and concentrated on nothing but becoming the best whitetail deer hunter I can be.

hunting without a gun… bows, crossbows, catapults? help!?

right im planning on starting hunting, perhaps rabbits, phesant (perhaps) grouse, pidgeon i dunno. thing is my pa wont let me get an airrifle , yeh there might be a problem for phesant though? not sure thing is christmas is coming and the geese are getting fat and i really wanna go hunting dammit! so crossbows theres a cool 150lb one for bout 100 quid, or i could get a junior compound bow for £90 or one of those barnett pro diablo catapults for about £20.
i could get the slingshot sooner cus it think i have 20 quid but its not worth waisting that money if i cant kill say grouse or even rabbits i dunno. or i could get the slingshot now and get a crossbow for christmas. i dunno basically i need someone to tell me what i ought to get so i can catch something to eat for supper.
is it worth bugging my dad till he gets a rifle?
itd probably take 2 months of constant bugging… haha
what is the way forward ?
cheers guys!

None of the things you mention are going to work. Basically you need a shotgun.
