All of us on this video live in KS. As leasing becomes more popular with land owners, it is harder and harder to find ground to hunt. It is really hard to get GOOD ground to bow hunt. Keep knocking on doors and it will happen for you.

We use bows for 40# to 55#. I use a Bear Kodiak Magnum recurve at 55#.

Gar have some pretty nasty teeth. I have been sliced open by thrashing fish a few times and it always takes a while for them to heal. Kill them then eat them...good eating!

Doug and Trish are shooting the Onieda Osprey. They have the let off set low so that they can shoot with good roll off of their fingers. I am shooting a 55# Bear Kodiak Magnum recurve. For me, the less bow weight the better. That way you can stand at the ready for hours w/o fatigue. This bowfishing day was 9 hours long.

Do you guys live in Kansas and also what pound draw is your bow

[CapPicard]

I used to snag gar at either Rocky Ford NE of Manhattan or at the spillway at Tuttle Creek. If I snag one, I would either cut the line or knock them senseless against the wall. Those fish scare me big time.
