RE: early bow season
You can't help but get frustrated. I don't know about you but my good areas I treat like a baby, very gently. I certainly don't go tramping through my hunting area anytime close to season unless I am doing some in season scouting with rubber boots and even then I'm real careful where I go. So you've put all this work into an area and then an hour before dark one night a guy carrying a muzzleloader come wandering by smoking a cigarette on his way back to his truck. Now your probably back to ground zero and have to start over again ecspecially if there are a couple of people educating the deer.
