I was watching masters of the bare bow and seen some excellent shots on cougars,,I would like to see all of your predators. All of us know theres just about nothing harder to get close enough for a good shot. Break'em out fellas>>----->JB
or not,, cmon fellas I know thers more than zero with some yotes,cougars,fox,maybe a bobcat,,
I`ve been waiting to see some too. The only yotes that feel to my bow have just been luck.
Didn`t get pictures, and don`t know why.

I used a varmit call to take this guy. I'm not sure if that immediately makes him a varmit or if it just makes him a "dead" curious javelina. :D

Ferret is that a Rockey Mountain recurve you've got there? Sweet bow
CK, those are some real nice pics...I especially like the kitty cats! I always have a keen eye out for the "wayward" bobcat!
wahoo, yes that's a Rocky Mt. Awesome bows. My wife Dianne shoots one too.
Charlie you are the man, the shot on that snake is awsome,and the camera man behind the badger has a lot of trust in your shootig,,LOL,,
Ferret,, That cat is huge man,, I also noticed that your quiver is empty,,did you empty it on the big cat on a charge? LOL??
CK,, man you're doing something right taking cats like you do,, man,, nice shots and yes I would call it a dead curious javelina but ya never know if he was looking for an easy meal..
Nice pics fellas,God bless, Jason B.
Well I don't carry the most arrows in the world and actually the first arrow should have killed him, but I kept shooting until he quit moving. My taxidermist always told me "if it's still breathing shoot it again, I'll sew up the holes."LOL
A lot more luck than skill on this one :archer:

I think in if I was in your shoes on that big cat I'd done the same thing,LOL,shoot untill its done,,can't wait until he makes a move and rips you up to peices.
WOW,, Ron,, that goes way back.Nice shot,, Is that MI in the background?
Yes, the fox was taken in Northern Michigan near Charlevoix.
The Coyote was also taken in Michigan from a tree stand while I was deer hunting. I saw him hunting mice in a field and called him into bow range by sucking on the back of my hand. The initial shot was through his hind legs breaking one leg. After a long tracking job the next day I managed to put two more shots into him before he gave up the ghost.

WOW!!! Outstanding bud,, what a way to follow up,, I think most would have given up after the first shot but you pulled through to the end,,Winston Churchill said "Never,Never,Never give up.. Words to live by and your proof with that absoloutly beautiful yote Ron, Hope to see you at next seasons bunny hunt,,Jason B.
His exzact quote,,
"Never Give In"
"This is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy."
—HarrowSchool, 29 October 1941.
I was hunting near St Helen Michigan, Fred Bears old stomping grounds. Camping with a couple hunting buddys who returned with me the next morning to track the coyote.
Because of a couple inches of snow the tracking job was easy at first. We found where he had bedded the night before on the bank of a creek where he had an easy reach for water. From there he took us through the thickest shin tang he could find. At one point he crossed a frozen beaver pond. The ice was pretty thin and I had to crawl on my belly to cross with the ice creaking and cracking under me. My buddys weren't willing to risk it and made the long detour around.
At another point he crawled under a huge blowdown and I had to climb through the tangled maze to follow the tracks underneath. After awhile we realized we were pushing him and he was staying just ahead of us. This told me he was weak from loss of blood and it was just a matter of time.
After several hours of following him through the thickets my friends were ready to call it quits. One of them had went over his boots in a creek and his feet were getting numb and said he'd had it and that we'd never get the critter. I said as long as I can see a track I'm on him.
My buddys were almost out of ear shot when I caught up with my quarry. He had doubled back to the big blowdown and as I was crawling across the top I saw a ball of fur about 6 feet below me. An arrow through the neck and another in the chest and his misery was over.
He now looks down from his perch in the loft of my shop to remind me of the ordeal. The toughness of this wild dog gave me a respect for him that I won't soon forget.
