Hi there.
I'm new to bowhunting and I'm wondering if anyone uses dogs for bowhunting? I assume this is a done thing but I cannot find any videos or any information on bowhunting with a hunting dog.
If anyone has experience with bowhunting with hunting dogs I'd like to hear what the results were like.
Cheers

That's a load of bollocks. So it's fair chase for dog and rifle. But not bow and dog? Not very logical.Quote:

I left NZBS late 80s when i started getting sh@% for hunting with sights. Oh how times have changed. I have bow hunted with a pointer (dog) for years now. German short haired pointer i ve found best. Great on deer in bush.
Check out Avidhunters latest video on YouTube. He uses 2 vizlas and shot three deer with the bow in one day.
A dog seems like a great assistant when bowhunting, especially since an amazing number of animals will stay bedded down to within a few meters of you waiting for you to walk past (dogs and thermal are great for discovering just how much you've been missing).
Training a dog up to be quiet and calm all the way in to bowhunting range could be pretty tough though.
agree.....the quiet and clam bit would have to be spot on...... hope to find out one day soon after lockdown is over....
A good tip i found. if your using dog when bowhunting, never ever let it hold or bail. If you dont get a pass through and broad swinging around can make more of mess of a dog than a wild boar.
