this will be my 3rd year bow hunting in NY and have got a deer every year so far. I bow hunted Colorado back in the 80's and when I moved to NY I didn't bow hunt for 20 years. I am so glad I picked it back up. I love the challenge bow hunting brings. The closeness you get with all of nature and itsanimals is truely amazing. I gun hunt to and have for more years than bow but I find myself looking more worward to bow than gun. Good luck this year.I still have 4 weeks to go.
