You got to be kidding me Kevin. How is a bowhunter going to mess up a gunhunter? A bowhunter can be all set to draw back on a deer when Boom, a gun goes off close by and sends the deer to the next county. Now when a gunhunter is set to shoot and a close by bowhunter lets loose an arrow is the gunhunters deer going to be spooked out to the next county? Doutful.
Who said anything about the bow hunter messing up the gun hunter's shot ?
If you're bow hunting during any season shared with guns you have to expect some noise . If you don't like guns going off while you're bow hunting then wait until a "bow only" season . Not much brain work to do there Rick . BTW , wen a gun goes off it spooks them for gun hunters too .
Our squirrel and several other firearms based seasons come in well before our archery seasons even begin , and several of them overlap both the early and late archery seasons . We've learned to adapt and coexist .
