firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted September 14, 2016 Never understood why one would do this.Because Cameron Hanes is really popular on social media and some other popular hunters on Instagram also do this. I think you can get more "likes" on your pics if you use a bow or something like thatYou are 100% correct. Screw it, go run the 200 mile race if one REALLY wanted to be like CH. OR, here's a thought......Maybe, I just like bowhunting. I usually put in for this general tag every year out of tradition with my family. It gives me a chance to get out and hunt with my dad and brother together. My dad is a rifleman and I love to bowhunt. I'm not closed off to rifle hunting at all. Going on a rifle bear hunt here shortly. I merely prefer one over the other. I just had the thought of toting my bow instead of my rifle. It has nothing to do with Cameron Hanes or getting likes on Instagram. Its a joke dude. Cameron is a bad mofo. He's got Drive, willpower, and tenacity in his pinky toe that I have in my entire body! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
capoeirajosh Report post Posted September 14, 2016 Wear lots of orange. Rifle hunters lobbing 1000 yd shots would make me nervous... That right there is probably what will keep me from doing it. Lots of trigger happy hunters out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just thought I would clear the air on my reasoning, because I think there are indeed people out there that think like that. I've been known to crack a Cam joke here and there, lol. Good luck to you.

mattys281 Report post Posted September 14, 2016 I'll actually be doing this next month in the colorado otc elk hunt, for the very reason you described. Going with a good friend that rifle hunts, but I only bowhunt. I'll wear the orange and try to get close enough for the arrow, and if not I'll go home with my tag. I hold nothing against any legal hunter using any legal tool, but i personally have no interest to shoot anything with a gun. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Titanium700 Report post Posted September 14, 2016 I would do the archery if that's what you want. You could always have your rifle nearby if you happen to see a nice buck that would be difficult to stalk with your bow. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The area I am in has some pretty rugged spots that aren't favorable for stalking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Camofreak Report post Posted September 14, 2016 I used a bow on a general kaibab hunt once, i shot a smaller buck with it and passed up bigger bucks with the rifle. Its all personal preference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Titanium700 Report post Posted September 14, 2016 I've killed tons of deer with my archery equipment. It is quite a thrill. I'd love to try a slingbow but it's illegal in my state. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I wouldn't be opposed to shooting a smaller buck with my bow. If I use my rifle, I will probably hold out for a nice one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
