    Bow hunting requires getting close to prey without the protection of a firearm. It involves stealthily getting inside the animal's danger zone for a clean shot. While traditional bow hunting relies solely on the hunter's skills, some newer technologies like GPS and night vision equipment are making the hunt less challenging for some. Bow hunting expeditions led by guide companies take groups of hunters to areas known for certain game and help them bait and hunt various animals depending on the season, with dangerous hunts for bears providing an intense thrill.

    The Fine Art of Bow Hunting

    Bow hunting is often seen as one of those �manly� sports, but there is a small
    contingent of women that partake in bow hunting and take the sport to new levels.
    With bow hunting, people are getting in touch with the control of the hunt and are
    learning all sorts of new things about getting in tune with themselves and using
    their own bodily power to get in touch with the hunting aspect. Without the use of
    a firearm, people find that there is less to hide behind with a bow and find that
    the psychological aspect of bow hunting can be somewhat intimidating.

    With bow hunting quickly becoming a new favorite in those seeking old-fashioned
    adventure, there are many new additions to the sport that people interested in it
    should get to know. One important aspect about bow hunting is the breaking of the
    �safety zone�. This must be done to get a clean shot at the prey. While traditional
    firearms hunters can stay at a relatively safe distance from their prey, a bow
    hunter must creep up on the prey and get inside a danger zone with the animal. This
    means that the animal could charge or attack at any moment within the danger zone.
    The hunter should be aware at all times because of this.

    With some of the new additions in bow hunting, however, some of the guesswork from
    the hunt is being removed. While many bow hunting traditionalists may be against
    such new additions as GPS sensors and nigh-vision, others welcome any ally that
    they can muster in this fight for survival and adventure. There tends to be two
    different schools of hunters, but all hunters have the same goal in mind whether
    they are traditionalists or �new school� hunters. The ultimate goal of bow hunting
    is, of course, to bring down the ultimate prey.

    There are several types of hunts that people go on. Big game hunts are popular and
    include elk, wolves, mountain goats, caribou and mountain lions. Other more
    dangerous hunters tend to go bow hunting after bears. There is a lot of demand for
    bear hunting these days, especially archery related hunts. This is because the
    danger involved with bear hunting delivers more of a rush than elk or caribou
    hunting. Like running with the bulls, bear hunting brings a sort of insane glee to
    the hunter and delivers certain thrills that they are not likely to get anywhere
    else.

    Many people book bow hunting trips or excursions with a variety of trip-leading
    companies. These companies typically take a group of hunters into a particular area
    that is noted for having a great deal of the animals they are seeking. The hunting
    company trips come equipped with a guide that monitors the action from a position
    of expertise and offers tips to the hunters in the party. Hunting trips are often
    very reliant on the seasonal aspect of hunting, so those seeking a bow hunting
    excursion should make sure they are paying attention to the top seasons of hunting.

    Much of bow hunting is reliant on the baiting or trapping aspect. The


    aforementioned hunting trips typically supply bait to the hunting party. This
    includes a knowledge from the hunting guide of placing the bait and finding a spot
    to wait for the prey. As hunting guides are professionals, their advice should
    always be heeded.

    Typically, a hunting guide will take his or her party to a location in which the
    density of the hunted animal is known to be highest. They will then set up a camp
    or �base� and begin to look for baiting locations. Once the bait has been placed in
    a variety of locations, a hunting area will be designated for the bow hunters. As
    the hunters set up shop, the guide will typically go through a few of the ground
    rules and safety techniques. After a short period of time, the animals tend to
    appear and the hunt is on.
