I got myself into archery and here is the reason why. For a couple years I have been scouting deer before rifle season. While I was scouting I see 25-30 bucks just walking around without any concerns, all deerstill in velvet. As soon as they shed their velvet then rifle season opens all the bucks disappear. I'm tired of it, so I'm going to chase their butts around with this dang bow.
Also the rifle season in California is only 6 weeks long. If I do both I can extend the time I have to hunt these blacktails.
