stump shooting question

barefootbowhunter:
i always carry broadheads when i have my bow, that said when im rovin im also coyote hunting which is year round, if you cant hunt the area your shooting in then find another place. and carry broadheads meth labs and grow ops are a problem in westcoast public land, and probably more likely then a bear or couger attack, dont be paranoid just prepared......enjoy the flight of the arrow enjoy the fresh rainforest air and do not worry about such minor political bull when roving.... rovin time is freedom time

Slackbunny:
The nice thing about bows in my area is pretty much all year round you can have some sort of license that allows to to hunt with them. I think there is a stretch between mid-december and march where you can't hunt, but its too cold during that time to enjoy it anyway. Also the three days of moose season you can't have anything in the woods unless you won the draw for a moose license. 

bowtarist:
I live in the woods of Southern Indiana, I walk out my door and shoot to my hearts content.  The laws changed in the 80s and we have that city limits deal too.  bows are quiet, so are sling shots; I used them both when I lived in town.  I shoot mostly blunts, or small bandsaw blades w/ a casing to slow them down on impact.  If I was worried about it, I'd call the DNR, maybe even call, get your answer and call back in a few days to see if you get the same anwer again.  ;)  good  luck, dpgratz

Weylin:
Thanks for all your input, fellas. I'll get around to calling the DNR and see what they say. It honestly seems like the safest plan is to have a hunting license and pretend that I'm hunting gophers or something. Kinda lame that you have to do that but I'm sure there are lots of idiots with weapons that they are trying to keep in check. I guess I should be grateful for that. Now to find a place that i can shoot that's not an hour drive away. The price you pay for living in the city...

Postman:
If anybody gets sketchy, I would work the angle of limited range of your equipment=safety with the blunts, plus not having sights / gadgets means you have to practice this way. Who knows, you might convert someone!

Here in VA, the Nat'l Park is the only place i don't take a bow. nat'l forest is fine 365. I see a lot of hikers, but most don't freak cause I have my boys and their gear usually.


Halverson: you need help! Good bit! ;D
