Bob, just imagine walking onto a property well before first light, that you have permission to hunt, ,that you grew up in those woods, and watch out for the elderly landowners, and see a Durango sitting with the doors wide open and nobody around. Then you proceed to your stand and see flashlights off in the woods. You go to your stand and after dawns comes, a duo appears under your stand and the scenario I related unfolds.
I was very fair to them. I asked that they finish out their hunt for the day, but please never return. It was after that they abandoned the trailing of the doe and to my complete and utter astonishment, went back to their spots and resumed hunting!!!!
We found out who they were after that, and sent an additional stern message that they never be caught on the property ever again.
Do you know why they were there?? They saw a nice 8-point cross the road there one night and arbitrarily decided to go hunt the property, without a care as to whether they were permitted to do so.
with crossbow,these type of people will do this, they cant do it will a recuve or compound.
now, i dont want to go into this as i have friends over on crossbow topic that asked that i dont tell what i see because it will hurt crossbow hunting .so ,i wont.
i do see a LOT of old FARTS,now dont jump on me, only adding a little humor gettinga doe and some got some real nice bucks last year in archery.
they have time to sit all day while others cant and go to work,so crossbow got them into woods and most gave up archery or never used bow before.
crossbow is getting more hunters into archery season, A LOT MORE.
they are getting a deer,for sure.
