I'll never understand why the early bow season is so freakin' revered, I saw a grand total of five deer during our six week Early Archery period(as usual), and three of them were on the side of the road as I was headed for work. The temps haven't dropped below fifty for most of the period(as usual), so the few deer that were out had night vision goggles on. The pre-rut was dead quiet(as usual), and the only two deer that came within sight of me never gave me a shot. Our prime rut is kicking in just in time for our General Firearms period this weekend(thank gawd), I'll be spending most of the next three days in a pop-up hoping to double out by Monday.
