(1) I see more deer than in gun season
(2) The deer are acting normal
(3) I get to learn more about deer behavior
(4) I get to test my hunting skills
(5) There is few hunters in the woods
(6) It gets me in the woods earlier
(7) I get to see bucks I may not get to see later in the season
I could go on and on as to why I bow hunt.
