500: I cut my teeth bowhunting whitetails in the woodlots of Pa's farm country. Good camo/scent control/an sitting rock soild is the way of an archer. Just as short barreled Dble guns is the way of a safari hunter.
I own and use both, harvested game on both continets with both.
I would say today as an older man the higher more defined skills of a successful archer are to be admired.
Have I killed a baboon with a bow & shaft, yes.
Have I killed more than 1 like that,no.
In truth I've never killed many, not my cup of tea. Humanoid? in some of their actions. A tad too many actions for me.
Once while on safari the owner/PH had been asked to remove a few due to their love of maize the locals had planted. I shot with a 45-70 half a dozen or so over the course of 10 days. These were the old Kodak Instanmatic Blk& Wht days. I took a few pics and upon development back home. My bride saw a pic we had posed for the camera by proping up a large male into a sitting position and I sitting along side it picking thru the coarse hair as if I was a troope mate searchinbg for lice. My bride asked which one was the "monkey" the poor beast I'd slain or the fool picking the lice? Those were my last 'boons!!
