RE: Bow Hunting vs. Rifle Hunting = Less Perceived Pressure?
Here in IL, typically you see deer all the time up until the time for the first morning of shotgun season/ ie our rifle season. After that you don't see deer. So yes they may know bowhunters are walking through the woods more etc....but I see them all bow season long, after gun season I've bowhunted, they shut down, and I know there are still plenty of deer in the woods.
