The Gar spawn is on!! Over the last week, I went from seeing one or two fish a day... to a hundred. I don't know what was up with that Raccoon I watched him for a long time before I decided to shoot him. His movements were without purpose and unnatural. Anyway the bowfishing gets good after the coon so stick around!!!

Quick question, besides the large steel bolts you ben using for gar, is there any other bolts for fishing you use? Have a mag on my own 80 pound xbow (so cant load a bolt with line) and curious if you had had any luck with anything else (though I think gar are tough enough you shouldn't use anything besides those steel bolts).
@TheWaterSwatters
@TheWaterSwatters Год назад
I've used ballista's fishing bolt out of the bat. Other than that I pretty much stick to the metal bolts. I've been using them with magazines I just muzzle load them. I had to sand them down a bit for the Vlad.

@@TheWaterSwatters Thank you for the response! I mentioned I need to muzzle load for fishing (because as you know, the fishin line) and seems I dont have as much room to load as you do it looks like. Ballista fishing bolts are to thick sadly so I think ill need to keep using my smaller cheap plastic bolts. Thank you again though, I was curious about bolts because the ones you used looked thin enough to be a possible choice. o/

I hate how people think just because a raccoon isn’t running away from them and it’s during the day it must be rabid, which isn’t always the case. I had a raccoon just a couple days ago within feet of me they don’t always just run away on site. I’ve had raccoons on my porch and they can be very stubborn when looking for food, that raccoon didn’t show any signs of rabies. Yes being out during the day is rare, and isn’t typical normal behavior but sometimes mother raccoons will forage during the day to feed their babies. If food is involved raccoons, don’t always run there are plenty of cases where normal raccoons will stand their ground with people. They have to be one of the most ballsy creatures I’ve ever seen. You probably just killed a innocent raccoon for foraging, and it probably has babies that died of starvation because of you. If you notice the raccoon was foraging It had its face pointed towards the ground meaning, it was looking for food. If it was rabid, there would be signs of either docile behavior, aggression, seizures, foaming at the mouth, walking in circles, and even possibly acting friendly.
