I understand hunting for survival and even sport to some extent. But I can't help but wonder if some deep rooted unquenchable ego trip and false sense of superiority is the reason people would hunt with a bow and arrow as opposed to a rifle. To each his/her own, I guess; education is costly afterall.

@aGoods Ha! yeah, maybe something like that. Do bowhunter's tend to have big trucks? ...Everybody is in it for different reasons. Some like the challenge of it, and tend to switch from gun to compound bow to traditional and the gratification or thrill of success ever greater (relatively) with each method. Others are looking to access more hunting opportunities where government mandates archery only (as is here).

@aGoods I recon there are quite a few bowhunters who fit into your description. Perhaps many of those who says stuff like "Be a real man and use a bow!"

Damn, I'd love to shoot that old fucker with a bow & arrow and watch him rithe in pain. That's sport right? Justified. :)

@CoolGuy62093 We could tie him up for you too. Give you a comfortable couch to shoot from. Put on some sports. Get you a woman...

You should introduce tigers to the environtment to help out.

Your not the first to suggest such an idea. And sometimes wild dogs get established and decimate goat herds except near cliffs. The herds are already restricted to cliffs in accessable areas because of the ammount of hunting with dogs that goes on here.

kill da goats before they kill da native plants!!

Hunting is, was, and always will be an enjoyable pastime, even when for subsistence. Just as the farmer enjoys farming, the hunter enjoys hunting. And the meat is delicious.  Get over yourself.

@aGoods obviously the harder the method the more you would feel a sense of accomplishment. should be fairly obvious...

Nice shot!

Not sure why people watch then leave negative comments...why watch? I thought it was a good vid, great long shot by the seasoned hunter and good to see you use the the goat as well. Hope to see more of your hunting vids,

hunting is a sport i belive it is ok to hunt dears and goats but not dogs and loving animals etc etc

[NatureVSPivots]

Thank you for posting this so I could see it. What a great trial and location. Wonderful and inspiring. Lived here all my life and have not done this but I am motivated by the calmness and serenity of moving though the Na Pali with a great potential out there. Not to mention the smoke meat!

I just went here to see the bow and arrow.

@CoolGuy62093 what, did you think the goats wouldn't be in pain if they died any other way? death is painful, accept it. remember that your ancestors gathered their food in this way
