I've hunted all my life, I'm 56 yrs old. Times have changed a lot over the yrs with property boundrys growing tighter and tighter and the amount of hunters growing in number. Seasons are now divided into bow only, primitive only, still, and running with dogs. New neighbors building a house first on the next tract of land to mine and then on both sides of me. A rifle shot nowadays seems to be a sound of alarm to folk and an annoyance if not just down right intimidating.
So this year I've taken an interest in bow hunting, mainly to hunt on my own place and not disturb anyone . . .and to keep my business to myself. Plus it will give me more time in the woods actually hunting come next October if the Lord gives me next season to hunt.
