I love to bowfish. We are out in the bay all the time. Last year a few of us went to Illinois and shot the Flying Asian Carp. What a blast, its an absolute must if you bowfish!

Recycle them back to the earth.

What about a food bank?:scratch:

I have harvested many rough fish in the past, I just have a different path now.

We used to leave them laying in front of the neighbors house, by the boat.:mischeif:

Never thought about the food bank thing. i wonder what they would do if you pulled up with a bed full of bloody stinky carp:scratch:

Sorry but recycle back to the earth was a nice way of saying let them rot.

And that exactly is what some people want. I know a few who love to till them into their gardens for fertilizer. Most of ours go to them.

The Indians planted a fish next to each hill of corn.

I have heard they are not bad to eat? Asian Carp. I would love to try and shoot them. I have been bow fishing for a while mostly by point Moullie

I have heard of plenty of people who like them. I'm not one of them though... I'll stick with walleye and perch.

I love to bowfish, started when I was 9 and been addicted every since.
Shoot tournaments in different states. Driving me up a wall that guy's I know in other states are still shooting and our season is closed(except great lakes) and starting April 1st there wont be a closed season anymore. YEAH!!!!!!!
Shooting the Asian Carp is a blast, but can also be painful.lol. Love going to Kentucky to shoot so many different species that it seems there is always something to shoot.

I've just set up for bow fishing this next year. I plan on keeping mine for coyote bait next winter.

I love to do this, i get out early spring to shoot woodchucks, when that slows down a little we hit the river and go carpin'


We have a boat set up with light...go out all night sometimes
enter tourney's around here

Mainly just do it b/c its a blast, between bowfishing and woodchucks, a man sure does have his "work" cut out for him

Hahaha i love it...will post pics if i can of our past trips and setup
