|
|
Hello from Germany!
Checking out the german and bavarian hunting law I found that hunting small game (fox, birds, ducks, badger, racoons, rabbitts) with bow/crossbow is legal here. Are there any suggestions for techniques like special arrows, distance, etc?
Regards

| The only thing I do that's close to what you're asking is I always take along a "bird arrow" for grouse when I'm hunting elk. Basically, it's the same arrow I'm using for elk, except it has a dull field tip with "grasshopper" on it. The grasshopper is a metal ring with semi-sharp protruding edges that fits between the field tip and shaft (when you screw the tip into the shaft). It serves 2 purposes, it tears a large chunk out of the middle of the grouse, plus it stops the arrow on the ground. I've used the same arrow the last couple of years, shot several grouse with it and havn't lost it. Shots on grouse are generally pretty close. They ain't too smart. I can usually walk up to them about 15 to 10 yards away. |
