The Shawnee National Forest is a National Forest not a State Property. So on the National forest all Deer Seasons are open to the public unless otherwise posted.. I do know there a parts of the crab Orchard National Refuge are Bow only but its only like 100 acres, considering there is 2000 acres open to public hunting bow and firearm. I am not sure other than that but I do know that most bow only areas are very small and get high congestion during first part of the season. I think you are better off in normal areas.
