I hate to be the one to break it to you, but the meat in the grocery store comes from animals that had to be killed too......

Being out there enjoying the outdoors, watching deer, that is fun to me. Actually shooting one, not very fun at all. I have not taken a deer here in WI for about 4 years. I usually just watch them

My son learned this weekend that sometimes it is okay to just watch and enjoy.

Yeah he was given a mini-genesis bow.  Barely threw the arrow in the water, but he had a blast and was convinced he was going to get one.  Haha!  They are pretty tough to get, spook easily.

Do you use a specific bow for bow fishing, or just bolt on the reel? Been wanting to try bow fishing, but currently not rigged for it.

Back in the day I used to be a pretty avid hunter.  Deer, turkey, duck, goose, pheasant; I pretty much hunted it all, with gun, muzzleloader and bow.  I havent hunted in years though.  Its just not my thing anymore.  Something about killing things for the fun of it just doesnt seem right.

I don't kill for fun, I kill for food. I eat everything I kill.

My uncle had Mathew's genesis bows which are specifically made for fishing.  I am not sure if they sell them or not.  A souped up genesis really.

That is fine.  For others it is a pastime and just another way of enjoying the outdoors.  It is a very inexpensive way to get some food and we often donate a lot of it to people in need.  Also there are a constant threat of CWD and other diseases that would be huge problems here if it were not for hunting.  In Texas where we have also hunted the ranch has to take a certain number of deer off the ranch every year because of the threat of disease.

This is a great point - A lot of people do not understand (or know about) the need for hunting when it comes to overpopulation and disease.

Some people don't like it, but me.. I love wild game, and fresh duck is my favorite. My family and I always eat what we kill.

I haven't met anyone I consider a true hunter that lists "killing things for fun" in their top ten reasons for hunting.

I used to hunt. We fed our family with the deer we would shoot, or the rabbits (mmmmm, rabbits and rice…), or the fish we'd catch.

As others said, hunting culls the herd so they can survive and not all starve to death.

Yes, hunting can be rewarding. Your patience, scouting, your accuracy after practicing for hours on end, etc. can all pay off. But "fun"? Please. That's not the right word for it at all. If anything, hunting has always struck me as a somber sort of activity.

I usually just watch them and enjoy being out there.. I will probably take one this year thorough as my family wants some venison. My kids love venison sticks. My boy is very sensitive about hunting and what taking a life means. I am keeping him from it for now. I used to really struggle with it until I befriended an older Native American man I used to work with. He put things in a great perspective for me of understanding why it should be participated in.

If the bow has an insert for a stablizer right by the grip, you can bolt on the reel. You don't need more than a 35# recurve, so if you get a separate bow, get one lighter than you would use for hunting bigger game. My son is using a hickory self bow he made earlier this month, so we need a clamp on reel.

I had a great time this last weekend hunting with my son.  I did not expect to see much hunting with a 5 year old but he loved being there, got a little bored as expected in the stand, and I loved spending time with him.  He just got his first bow, a Mathews Mini-Genesis, here his is taking some of his first shots with it.  I put a whisker biscuit on it, for safety reasons.  ;)

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
