How many of you have tagged one w/ a bow during firearms season?
This weekend will be the first time I take my bow afield during an open rifle season. I guess I'm starting small.........I'll be out there Saturday morning in PA attempting to fill a doe tag with the bow. I'll be at it in NY on Sunday as well.
Who here has been successful in a high pressure area (PA, NY, etc) with their bow during rifle season outside of a bowhunting only zone? I'm just curious........

Matt, not successful in filling tags but came darn close one here back when doe was still doe season. I can't see shooting a doe with a rifle at this point in my life so I carried my bow during doe firearms and almost came to draw on more than one occassion.
I wanted to say good luck in your quest this weekend. If I didn't have a friend coming over to try for a doe I'd come up and film ya.

I shot a doe last monday two days before gun season closed. I do have access to 60 acres that doesnt get rifle hunted. The areas around it aren't hunted too hard though so being rifle season didn't have a huge impact on my hunt.

Maybe not HIGH pressure.....but the poach patrol is out there.
From the '06 RIFLE season...
1st buck was taken at a friend's lease in the eastern zone of NC. I was the only person bowhunting...and the only person to take a deer, this day.
Shot the econd deer out of my woods on 12/9 of last year.....some 3 weeks into gun season.
