So ive been often quoted that Lever gun hunting is a bit like Bow hunting......... but with a Bang and with a few more Meters under yer belt!?
Does anyone agree on this ? or like to discuss it?
I say this because I dont Bow Hunt (did purchase one this weekend) but the Gist of the Game is often to get in CLOSE to the Animal and PLACE a shot where it needs to be........
Then ya drop the hammer- where its supposed to go and WAIT.
i find the waiting part has become key for my lever gunning at present an learning to hold back from racing in an seeing where it went or whatever---- trust that shot..
Down under a TREE stand is very uncommon, not a method used often, but instead we Ground base, Sit and Wait, many folks i believe STALK or Still Hunt with their Bows but that may be slightly more difficult overall...
hunting from a tree is proberly very similiar weather rifle, bow , shotgun or slingshot...... Ya merely waiting on a Deer.
Sitting and waiting from the ground enables you to be in any spot weather pending..
an the still hunting, well theres a bit of movement involved, theirs knowing the Animal in the areas habits, testing your skill to find them, unalerted etc.. this to me sounds very hard with a Bow? not impossible (ima do it soon) but loweres the chances tenfold.
still hunting with a rifle is hand in hand, point shoot. without the angles presenting, a many variables from distance, alerted or spooked etc.
Im a Rifle man i love me rifles but im dipping into the Bow for the challenge... kind of cant wait.
