I would love to say I was a true bowhunter according to Don’s definition, but I just can’t rely on venison in the freezer without it. I scout hard, all summer. Prepare ground blinds and treestand locations. Play the wind. But even in my most densely populated town zones I only get pictures on the game cams every three or four days on the most heavily used trails. No agriculture and 90+% forested land allows deer to move where they want and bed anywhere they are. I look forward to going back to the expanded zone where I am allowed more than the state wide 1 deer limit by any method if and when I fill my rifle tag. When I am carrying a bow I am 100% traditional (except for the carbon arrows, can’t give those up either). I would trade or sell the compounds and enjoy the trad journey.
