Hi All,
I'm new to the forum and have found it fun to have a look around here. I am in the initial stages of planning to hunt in Africa. At home here in Australia Bowhunters mostly use the spot and stalk method for hunting, either get high and look down on the game, follow game trails, stalk up to clearings or waterholes etc etc. I mainly chase deer over here and they are very shy and hard to get close to but I'm not sure if African animals are more twitchy in that regard.
Much of what I read and see about Bowhunting in Africa is that blind or stand hunting is the preferred method and of course this will increase chances of a successful hunt over water or feed especially for shy or pressured game. To my question: Is there much spot and stalk hunting done in Africa with a bow?
regards
bruce
