It's illegal in my neck of the woods so no (at least it is for big game not sure about other game..). However i'm extremely interested in it. I'd like to hunt deer or moose with one.

I'd also like to get a left handed compound (i use my fathers right handed PSE for targets but where i'm left eye dominant i'm not as consistantly accurate as i could be with a propper bow)

I have gone hunting with my buddy that hunt's with a compound bow.
I think it's a much more challenging way to hunt, more skill is required.

unca walts your man

I have. I used it on a "HAM" (handgun, archery, muzzleloader) hunt. I found it to a real PITA for my style of hunting. I do a lot of spot and stalk type hunting and lugging the large bow around was a pain for me. It was also really heavy for what it was.
