This. And if people just cannot live without a bow season. Put it at the end instead of the beginning


That’s interesting. What’s the reason behind moving it to the back end?
folks chasing them with a bow for a month+ before rifle season puts pressure on them. If they are left alone, from the time greenfield are planted until opening day they will be all over the fields unaware of what is about to hit them.


Ah I gotcha. We only have 3 people that bow hunt in our club. The deer don’t start acting pressured with us until the gun guys start getting in the woods the weekend before youth and start running cameras and putting up climbers and scouting.

I see your point though. We just don’t have enough bow hunters to pressure them I guess. It’s like a light switch when all the SxS and four wheelers get here though. During late bow season I’ve had does watch me climb down in my climber and not even blow as I walk off 35 yards away. Last weekend I had a doe pick me off in a tripod with net around it with a magnolia as a back drop at 75 yards. She blew and took off and blew for 30 minutes down in the bottom. They definitely act differently.
