28th Annual Stick-Bow Pheasant Hunt

It's not "Big-Game", but it is Big Game Fun--

Our 28th Annual Traditional Archery Pheasant hunt is in the books.
Miles of smiles and lots of YUK YUKs

As usual, I mmmmmissed my fair share of birds, however, one of my pals scored on a nice rooster.

Here is a link to an article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

That looks like a great time Rudy! What do you guys use for heads on the arrows? The article mentioned broadheads are not allowed. I assume you guys are using judo points or something like that?

We used Judo's and field tips.
Broadheads are a MUCH better choice, however, safety dictates they are not to be used. There is a real worry that the dogs would either step on an arrow or maybe grab a bird with the broadhead still in it.
It's hard enough to hit the things and to see a bird fly off skewered with an arrow will make a grown man cry.
The bird in the picture flew off at least a 100 yards after the hit. The pooch did a great job locating him in a cattail swamp.
