the Wisconsin Bow Hunters
Assn., said the yeomen hunt not
only deer, but wild boar, bear,

about the same, or less than,
hunting deer with a rifle, he

The nrtonl7jitlon. which start

nearly 1,500. The membership
includes about 300 women, ne

"The sport Is growing more
popular each year," Thrapp
stated. "It'll probably be the
most popular new postwar
sport."
He revealed that the hunters
use a bow with a minimum pull
of 40 lbs. and that the average
"kill" shot in deer hunting was
between 26 and 29 yards. Each
member is awarded a gold pin
when he kills his first deer. Af

each of the next three he kills.
By that time, he Is considered a
full-fledged bow hunter.
More than 1000 deer were
killed this year in Wisconsin by
bow and arrow hunters. The
season in Wisconsin runs from

"Many old. experienced deer
