Default RE: Still hunting question

Lots of good advice on still hunting. As to your original question:
<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote<font size=1 face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>My question is this: What do you do with your bow when you are glassing the surrounding area? It seems to me that dropping your bow on the ground and then picking it up again every time you use your binoculars would make you unnecessary vulnerable to visual detection. <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' size=2 id=quote>

When I was in CO last week I wore a backpack. When I'd stop to glass I'd hang my longbow by the string across the backpack waist strap buckle. No arrow on the string so it's easy. Sometime I'd just sit the bow tip on the ground and lean the bow into my chest. I can't glass one handed. Too shaky for me.

When I'm at home in South Arkansas I usually don't carry binos but do on occasion. I mostly still hunt AR with an arrow strung.

There is a product out there that is a hook that goes on your belt to hang your bow from.
