RE: early bow season
I don't think it would be so bad with the muzzleloader hunters out there at the sametime we are but most of the muzzleloader guys I saw out there were in small groups putting on deer drives and others wander hunt through the woods waiting for a deer to jump up without regard to the scent they leave behind or the wind. That ends up screwing the deer's natural movements up and makes bowhunting tough. It'd be different if most would scout deer sign and set up on it as we do, again this was what I saw in the area I hunt.
