As most of you know I have a lot of kids to take hunting this year and I have none able to pull back the legal weight on a bow. Well, black powder season starts Saturday and I have 2 kids to take hunting Saturday. Previously here in NC we were not allowed to bow hunt during ML season, but this year we can. I have 2 spots that I just know will produce nice bucks Saturday. I just know the big boys will walk out Saturday. These are spots I would like to continue to bow hunt during the gun seasons. If things do work out Saturday and a deer is taken, how long do you think it will be before things calm down? Reason I ask is that next week during the week will probably be my only time to continue to hunt because when gun season arrives (the next Saturday) I'll be booked with kids to take hunting so I took Monday off. But smoking up the area Saturday then hunting in the same spot Monday? What do you think?

And I haven't hunted these areas at all this week or last so things would be "perfect" this coming Saturday so I can't tell you how they are acting right now. I know a lot depends on how the rut's going and all but I have no idea in these spots, what's going on.

I think you'll be fine...It really depends on how everything transpires. You could take one out and no other deer in the area would even be the wiser or, you could have a very long day throughout the area bumping every deer. It's all on how you execute it my friend.

Farm: I have taken deer out of one stand in the morning, gone back in the afternoon expecting a nice quiet "rest", and had deer moving all around me. Go in - do your thing - and move out quietly and it should be ok in the pm.
Good luck with your hunts, and i hope the kids do well.
