Can I shoot crows with a bow?

[emmietiie]

I don't want to waste all my arrows trying.

I wouldn´t bet on it. I guess they are more like "artwork" then actually animals in the game... But that´s just a guess...

As you are on about yourself, I´m not gonna waste an arrow finding out, considering their accuracy....

No, you can't shoot crows :)

Has anyone actually killed a deer with a bow ? I cannot get close enough for a shot to reach them.

Crouch. It works pretty well for me.

Hmmm...I cannot shoot the bow in crouch. Only the rifle.

I guess you have to attach it while standing, after this crouch.

Tried that, doesnt work. The bow disapears when you go crouch. Unfortunatly, I also got a problem getting close enough to deers.

Yes, it can be done. It takes some patience. I ran around it, got in front of it, and waited till right before I thought it would take off then shot. Now mind you this was after several attempts and several lost arrows on previous deer. Learning the accuracy is a bit of a challenge but so was everything else at first. Anyway, I shot it and noticed a blood trail so I went inside to sleep and when I came back out it wasn't too far away from the office. The arrow was sticking out of its leg. Not where I aimed but it worked. Guess I'll have to keep playing with the accuracy.

I have killed a ton of deer's with bows. I got one from a pretty good distance and it blew my mind. I would just aim a bit high above the deer a give a little lead. I also hit a rabbit in the head when he was on a sprint. Just keep trying to kill them and you will get how to use it.

one-shotting a deer in the back of the head with an arrow is possible and extremely satisfying. Walk rather than run up behind it though and don't get too close.

Haven't done it in awhile but learned as a "challenge". Had my best success in CH along the road near the coastal community. Crouch on the bluff above the road which is a deer path. Once the deer is below you, stand and let fly. Managed several kill and 2 instant kills. Now I just chase them into a wolf. Two for the price of one.
