Comment by Ken Spielvogel on April 30, 2014 at 15:17: Rick, I am a Bow Hunter and a Fisherman but I have never combined the two. Looks like fun.

Comment by Rick Hooper on April 30, 2014 at 15:16: The cajuns and river people love the gar filets or made into a patty or gar ball, I like them on occasion, just the filet along the back. Would trade any ten rough fish for a crappie filet anyday, My filet knife and fish cropper collection is quite impressive! Seriously, a folding Chicago Knife and full tang Cutco filet knife are no#1 and two, with my dad's old Swede Rapala a close third! but everyone has different taste.

Comment by Rick Hooper on April 30, 2014 at 15:07: The bowfin is a local favorite for some,but it has a mushy texture to me.

Comment by Rick Hooper on April 30, 2014 at 15:06: The arrow points are mechanical wonders of their own.

Comment by Rick Hooper on April 30, 2014 at 15:04: Bowfishing has made a comeback in the southeast, Robert. In the 70's and 80's , aligator gar were considered a nusiance and was the most likely target group. It is banned now and endangered, but longnose, shortnose , and spotted gar are legal. As are bowfin, drum,buffalo, all carp, paddlefish/shovelbill catfish and all other catfish! We find locals who eat such delicasies, otherwise, we feed the raccoons, coyotes and martins. Shoreline release is legal, Tobias, I hunt for catfish, and the buffalo is excellent eating And like knives we collect many different arrow tips and heads for different types of fish. Although some are general purpose for all.
