Due to school and work obligations, my first day of hunting will be November 29th[:@]. That is gun season week. Do I take the muzzleloader out and contend with the masses that weekend or do I bloody the Bowtech? Yes, I do have to wear orange during gun season while bowhunting.

Come to the blaze side..

(no cookies, though)

The bow only zone would be my first and only choice. The deer will be finding the least pressured area's. You should be there.

With all the other hunters blasting away your chance of getting a deer within bow range will be slight at best, so why limit yourself to a single weapon choice? Unless you're well ahead of the pack where the deer will be running you're highly unlikely to get a shot at all, and running shots with a bow are extremely risky. Choose the option that has the best chance of yielding results.

Arrange your schedule to allow more time for hunting, that's what to do!

I'm a bowhunter.....I saw bowhunt, BUT..........you've heard that saying "Taking a knife to a gunfight".........

Although I'd most likely settle into the park, there is no right answer. Be flexible and adapt to the situation.
