Will want to have it on a horse both uncocked and cocked. I wouldn't hunt from the horse, but would for sure want to be able to jump off and head after elk without cocking. I really wouldn't want it on my back on the horse, you don't want any extra weight on your back to mess up your balance in the mountains or anything that branches can grab to help you off the horse. I'd be riding with a pack but with as little in it as possible.

Hope you get it all set up the way you want. But I have to say, no way in hell do I sit a horse with a quiver full of broadheads aboard. Ballsy ploy.

I think that a decent percentage of people that use horses to access the backcountry to archery hunt would say that going out into the ocean to hunt ducks in a small boat is a ballsy ploy.

Agreed, if driving about with a quiver on your back in 4 footers. They're just jealous.

Perhaps you should go full Native American mode; bareback, stick bow, willow arrows, stone arrow heads. Don't forget your loincloth, please don't forget your loincloth.

I will probably start with some sort of traditional bow in the the next couple years. I really like shooting a bow (compound) and miss it. I haven't seriously shot a traditional bow, but think I'd enjoy it and it sure would be easy to carry in the mountains. The crossbow definitely does not have an enjoyable vibe to shoot or carry, but it sure is a killer.
