But you're a lot closer to New Zealand where the hunting is golden if you have the gold!Not many elk in oztralia.

I couldn't agree with you more. I grew up hunting with a rifle and love everything about guns and then about 15 years ago picked up a bow and have never looked back. There isn't anything more thrilling then listen to a Elk bugle back to you and then being about to call him into bow range is second to none. About 7 years ago I drew a antelope rifle tag in the same area that i hunt elk with a bow so I had a rifle in one hand and a bow in the other, I chased a buck around for about a hour trying to get close enough to get a shot with my bow and finally gave up realizing I was never going to get any closer then 350 yards so i laid down with my rifle and shot him at 350 yards and he dropped in his tracks. I remember standing up and saying to myself (that was way to easy). So today I love to ring steel with my rifle and hunt Deer and Elk with my Bow. But thats just me, take it for what it's worth.If i only had one opportunity to hunt elk, it would be with the bow.
SO many less hunters, and the aobility to listen to a bugling bull coming into your calls is amazing.
I've shot 4 bulls with my bow. MANY with the rifle, i dont get the excitement out of rifle hunting.
Long range shooting is more of a hobby for me.
