As bowhunters, our only advantage over our firearm hunting cousins would be an early crack at deer and little to no pressure as result of a shot. Aside from that, we are at a disadvantage.
In my experience, bowhunters are alot more secretive about their quarry and locations than most gun hunters/drivers.
We want to b do everything we can to increase our chances of a mature animal harvest.
So are you greedy ? Be honest. NO arguements, just the truth.
and give an example of how you are/were/will be greedy.

FOR ME:
I am never satisfied with my property. When I secure a new farm, I immediatly contact the surrounding landowners in an attempt to secure thier land as my own or keep it closed to hunting.
Example:
I secured 680 here in central NJ. The same day that I was given exlusive permission to access this farm for hunting and fihsing, I was in contact with all of the bordering lands owners. 2 days later, that property grew to over 800 acres due to my efforts.
On my properties that border hunted parcels. I do EVERYTHING I can and spare NO EXPENSE to draw deer off of that piece and onto mine or re-direct the deer so that they wont pass onto that persons land. We have set up feeders and planted plots and designated bedding areas to aid in this cause.
We have also gone as far as constructing wire fences through the woods, over hundreds of yards so that deer couldnt access the bordering property. We then supplied all of the amentities that the deer were seeking on the bordering land.
THAT IS GREED....BUT Legal !!
I'm probably the exact opposite as you described! I
enjoy hunting and
love to help others out even if I have just met them! I like for all to succeed and if I can help in ANY way, I'm there!!!!!!!
