One of the oldest forms of hunting can probably be found and dated with Archery. Archery as we may know of it today is a lot like it has been for hundreds and thousands of years. Without the above mentioned, One would have to go out with a knife and go crazy on your prey. But with the wonderful advent of the bow and arrow, This has made it possible to make a quiet distant kill for our food.
This being one of the weapons of choice of the master hunter, Mr.Ted Nudgent, Nugent also lovingly referred to as The Motor City Madman, Has a love for this way of hunting. He's made wild game hunting one the specialty's that he very much enjoys. Whether it be for wild elf or some other type of critter, The Nudge loves to bow hunt. I would mention that in his hunting, He either uses a Compound Bow or a newer model Crossbow, sometimes he uses a firearm.
He is also very passionate and proud to put all of the wonderful tasty meat on his table. With good reason behind his actions, He's also been fought hard by a lot of action groups because of this. Archery is still one of his staples usually with his trusty bow and arrows. His adventurous hunting nature has been seen first hand from his TV program ?The Spirit of the Wild?.
Also the American Indians used this type of strategy in there hunting of the great Buffalo. The Buffalo for century's has been a staple of there diet. For clothing and food, Archery Hunting has been there way of survival. The world is a battle of the fittest, Archery has proven to be the bread bringer in all cases. Without Archery people would have starved and did because they couldn't hunt. If people weren't willing to do some work to get the food, Then they were going to starve.
Whether it be Mule Deer, Whitetail, Elk, or other types of game, archery is a staple in the area of game hunting. This can be even more significant with the advent of newer technology's. The invent of the Compound Bow has done wonders for the world of hunting and target shooting alike. Making better the experiences and ease the work and strain that the hunter has to undergo.
In my opinion, for hunting purposes it's best to use an arrow. One good reason is, if your hunting for food, you end up with a nice clean kill with perfect meat. When you hunt with a shotgun you get scatter, this scatter gets to the meat and you have to be careful when eating it. With hunting with bow and arrow theres no chance of this occurrence.
