Bowhunting is a method of hunting that uses a bow and arrow to pursue game animals. It requires skill and practice to accurately shoot arrows at targets, often at varying distances. Bowhunters typically use specialized equipment, including compound bows, recurve bows, and crossbows, each designed for different hunting styles and preferences. This type of hunting is often regulated by specific seasons and rules to ensure sustainable wildlife populations. Many bowhunters enjoy the challenge of getting close to their prey, which can include animals like deer, elk, and wild turkey. Conservation efforts are often supported by bowhunting, as hunters contribute to wildlife management and habitat preservation.
