What is the hardest/difficult animal to hunt with a bow?

I'm not a bow hunte

I would've thought same as you, and I'd add wolf to that list, they'd be very hard to harvest with a bow, considering how savvy and aware of their surroundings they are...

My experience as a dedicated and successful bowhunter:

—-sheep were tough…took eight backpack trips over a 6 year period with over 60 hunting days to arrow a Stone. Similar amount of days over 5 seasons for a Bighorn. Got lucky on the NR NV tag and got one the 8th day. Guided Dalls in the the NWT were the easiest….arrowed one on day 7.

—-mountain caribou took me 60 some days and 8 hunts to arrow one. Not many legal bulls seen in BC over those hunts.

—-Grizzly took a similar amount of time, over 60 hunting days but sure was a rush to arrow one at 13 yards and have him bound past at 2 yards!

—-the remainder of the Archery Super Slam came a bit easier, and 20 of the 29 were on hunts without guides.

—-I’ve yet to arrow a wolf, but have missed 3. None were chip shots. Wolves are smart and elusive. Coyotes..arrowed a half a dozen.

Mulies are easy IMO. Taken a hell of a lot with a pointy stick.

May others are MUCH more difficult.

Curious why wolves wouldn't be considered part of the 29 N. American big game

[Blockcaver]

Bubba, wolves can be used to replace Quebec Labrador caribou (season closed for them in 2017) for Grand Slam’s NA29. But there is no P&Y category for them, probably why Frank Noska does not mention them. And Frank is almost to a third Archery Super Slam! He is one dedicated and super successful Bowhunter! He and Chuck Adams lead P&Y with around 200 record book animals each with Chuck still in the lead last I knew.
