Not everyone can bow hunt. My son has spent years trying to get a shot pattern down with his bow. After 6 or 7 years, he gave up. Can't say I blame him. Iowa has an early muzzleloader season that is 8 days long and ended last Sunday. During the rut, only bows. It would be nice if there weren't gunshots blazing away before I get to bow hunt, but that would be selfish to wish it that way. Let the seasons stay for everyones benefit. BTW, I bow, muzzleload, shotgun, and high power during the deer seasons.
