im not sure about you guys...but ive been waiting for bow season since the end of spring turkey season(NY). if there is a 1/100 chance of taking a good buck, ill be out. im not gonna kill anything at home. especially since i have seen great deer on my trail cam so i know they are in the area.
plus, i always learn alot just by being in the woods and observing the wildlife.
in conclusion...get out there and HUNT!!!
