does'nt take 70 lbs to kill a cow wheels, no worries. Stay just off the big leg and shoulder bones and you could sneak a 2 blade right in there.

These are cattle that have gone feral and are now entering onto government lands ,like state forests and Crown lands!!!!!Taste great and no one seems to mind well except the likes of PETA

Sometimes Turkey and squirrels, But mostly any species them archery range shoots that I'm at has set out at the time of the shoot. Now they should count because they sure look like those animals I see on them hunting shows.

squirrels, turkey, feral hogs, rabbits currently are my besides deer game .. have hunted bobcat, bear and coyote in the past.
Hopefully they will start up a PETA season. Now that would be some fun shooting right there.

Geetings-this is my 1st post & since 2012 starts my 56 year of Bowhunting Biggame it's kinda like what haven't I Bowhunted. I have been blessed with more Bowhunts than most will only dream of. I have taken Elk, Buffalo, Sheep, Hogs, over 100 Whitetails, Mule Deer, Caribou, Black Bears, Antelope & a few Exotic Deer with my compound & shot 38 animals with recurves (Elk, Hog, Bear, Whitetail) & lots of small game. Small game has been fish, bushy tails, Pheasant (flying) , grouse (not flying), Rabbits, Coons, Porcypine, Gophers, Rats, Frogs ect. I qualified for NFAA Master Bowhunter award in 1982. I have been blessed.
What have I NOT Bowhunted that I wanted to-Big Bears (Griz.) & Moose. Just never managed them but have no regrets. Sorry for ramble..
