How to learn to hunt with a selfbow?
Allyn T:
I've winter floated a lot down there but I live in st.charles county. If I could convince my wife I'd live down by you. Southern missouri is beautiful. Everyone I've met while hunting around sunklands has been very friendly.

I had a surprising experience while hunting... I couldn’t shoot.... which was probly for the best because the doe wasn’t quite in a perfect position for a shot ... but if I she was I don’t think the arrow would have left the bow.. it was a very strange and emotional experience... any tips to overcome this want in the moment not to kill such a beautiful animal? I do not enjoy being out there but the stress was overwhelming... thanks for all the good advise

I think thats pretty normal,, as you hunt more you can decide when you want to shoot,,
if you decided never to shoot thats ok,, but at some point,, your hunting instinct will kick in and you will shoot,, especially if you are hungry,, :)
just enjoy the process and see how it goes,, just do what is best and natural for you,, also,, you dont have to be accountable or explain to anyone,, if you decide to shoot or not,, just enjoy being outside,,
Allyn T:
I think that is natural, I love every part of hunting except the kill. Even the field dressing and butchering I enjoy but I do find it hard sometimes to take the shot. It helps if they come in fast and you don't have time think too long. Just to clarify I'm not talking about a moving target I just mean when they suddenly appear and stop at 15 yards.
