Archery only?
I was wondering if anyone else hunts archery only land? I hunt state land where it's bowonly, and I like it like that. It keeps pressure waaay down. Anybody else?

RE: Archery only?
The 160 acres I hunt on is only hunted by my brother and I and his wife, we all are strictly bow hunters. The neighboring land owners are all shotgun and muzzle loader hunters.

I hunted a place in MD that was bow only public land. I loved that place. I saw some realy nicebucks there.

RE: Archery only?
our area is pretty much bow only, we will hunt during firearm season, but usually by then its only for a trophy buck, which doesn't come along every gun season.....
If I had my own place, I'm pretty certain gun season would be for "monsters only" so really bow only for the most part.... |
RE: Archery only?
Most of my county is Bow only, I have a spot in the gun/bow zone but only hunt it with the bow.
|
RE: Archery only?
Two public areas I hunt are bow only.You are not allowed to bowhunt them during gun season either so it gives the deer a little break.

RE: Archery only?
I hunt in a residential/recreational area, and it is bow and doe omly.

RE: Archery only?
I did here in Oklahoma, the hunting was great, they have a few bow only areas here on post mainly because they are near residental areas or near the highway.
|
RE: Archery only?
There are 4 counties in WV that are bow only but I've never hunted them.
|
RE: Archery only?
Sure.

RE: Archery only?
I hunt a bow only Conservation area here and I think this year it should be getting real good. It's been bow only for about 5 or 6 years now so the bucks will be getting bigger.
The best part is hunting it during gun season with my bow because I have the whole place to myself usually and its primetime. |

RE: Archery only?
I hunt public land, bow only about 95% of the time, but it gets crowded at times. And I have had stuff stolen, but that can happen even on private land. It's OK I guess.

Of my 4 hunting spots, one is bow only.
|
RE: Archery only?
I hunt a state wherethere are seasons for everything. It's kind of hard to bow hunt with gun hunters. But you learn their ways an thenmake your plan.

RE: Archery only?
ORIGINAL: DropTine249 Im pretty much exclusively a rocket launcher hunter. Its so much easier just to aim in the vicinity of the animal, rather than focus on vitals.. However, it is rather hard to see in which direction the rack went upon impact and explosion, especially with the back blast....Aside from that

RE: Archery only?
The last couple of years i have been leaning more and more towards bow only other than occasional Dove hunts with the 870. Personally i just enjoy it more.
|
RE: Archery only?
The land I hunt is bow only only because it is too close to town and the provincial park. Cross the road and you can use the boom stick.
