PatM:
You can hunt with any length of bow you want. People in jungle areas have used longbows for millennia. Will Thompson's favorite hunting bow as a 6'6" Snakewood backed with Hickory longbow.
 Howard Hill also did OK with longbows of around 6 feet.

1 1/4 wide for the center 12 inches, handle 4 inch and 4 eitherside. Then tapering to 3/4 inch wide about 12 inches from the nocks, then down to 1/2 inch for the tips. You can of course narrow the outer limbs later. Elliptical tiller  ;)
If you can fit throught a gap so can your bow.....unless you are very skinny......
