Down here in Virginia, bow season is peaceful and the deer are relatively calm, unless someone accidently bumps one from feeding or bedding. Gun season? forget it.... I kind of agree with what Cardeer said. Gun season on the WMA's in Virginia? People run dogs on public lands and spook everything for miles and miles. There's also 9,432,586 hunters to contend with too..... [:-][&o]
Check my hunting log that I started making at the beginning of bow season. You see a pattern in my comments and dates/times I hunted. Bow season was nice, peaceful, and calm. Someone bumped a giant 8 pointer to me and I missed from 20 yards! I'm still kicking myself in the a$$ over that one! [:'(] Gun season now has been a bit nutty because deer are so spooked and chased by hound dogs, they are going like Mach IV through the woods. It would be like trying to skeet shoot a deer!
