this will be a first for me. i'm gonna bowhunt tomorrow. i have a bow-only spot that is promising. i'm hoping to hunt it so i dont have to deal with crowds. But now i'm worrying about locals gun hunting it.
good luck everyone. hunt smart and safe. __________________ Soccer-Mom Pro-Staffer

Good luck to all the bowbenders. You might tag a monster because those big boys will head for safety and it will be found were a smokepole can't get to them.

WOJ,
If you are hunting somewhere between your house and mine, As long as its legal distance from houses or maybe not there is a good chance locals will be driving it out at some point. Remember just because you might not be legal distance from houses, they will have permission. Good luck wear some orange stuff... Plus, 450 ft with both so if you can hunt it.... So can they. If there is a good local turnout tomorrow, there will be deer all over the place. The last 3 or 4 years have been crappy opening days for some reason.. Bad turnouts. __________________ "from my cold dead hands"
