With 7 Saturdays in a row of hunters shooting at deer with guns, hunters like me - who hunt deer EXCLUSIVELY with a bow - are having a tough time. It's my decision so I accept the difficulties that accompany it. I haven't seen any deer around my stands during hunting hours the last few weeks. The super loud, crunchy snow is still alerting deer well before you get there and yesterday I chased out a bunch of them bedded near the area I wanted to hunt. Dang snow!
