RE: More deer during archery season?
This year I bow hunted about 70 hours, saw about 35 deer and shot 1 but passed on about 4 or 5 others.
I gun hunted about 9 hours, saw 19 and shot 2 and could have shot about 6 or 7. Nothing beats the opening of gun season for deer movement.
This is not saying that I prefer gun hunting. I had 3 hunters setup within 130 yards of me opening of gun season. Watched one shoot a nice buck too. It sucked!
