first you gotta move to minnesota our season starts sept 15. now for the disaster not quite as bad as the others but for never getting a deer its bad. tryed using a recurve last year called a doe in to about 15 yards when i was ready to take the shot she spotted me. well hind sight is 20\20 if i would of had my compound i could have drew while she was walking in. iguess what do yoou do i switched bak to my compound after that and didnt see any more deer the rest of the season
