Absolutely go for the bow. Do it now so you can get ready!

Id get a bow, and grab a stand later!

get the bow!!! it was the best decision i ever made. you will be hooked way before the season starts. one bit of advice a bow is not a gun if you do not practice every week you will loose it. it seems every year i practice, practice, practice, buy the time season starts i am shooting pretty consistant and am so pumped for opening day, but by the end of the season i am not so consistant because practice has turned into hunting.
My advice PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.

Get the bow, I never thought I would quit duck hunting to go deer hunting. But ever since I took up bow hunting in 93 I have duck hunted less and less each year and don't miss it. Depending on your draw lenght there are several good bows out there. MT Sport by Hoyt and the Magnatec are excellent in their price range. Start with a good used one that is not more than a year old.

I vote for the bow too. :) There are a variety of treestands and bows out there. I am sure you could find some combination that would allow you to get the bow now and still have a little leftover to start saving for the treestand...<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Oooooh! Get the bow!! I think you will love it! You may be able to get a great deal on a 2001 model this time of year too.

fl.huntress sorry to hear about your stand being stolen. If the person who stole it calls himself or herself a hunter, they have no place being in the woods if they dont have better ethics than that. Anyway I would say that if you go for the bow it will be a decision you will not regret. I started bowhunting last year. I bought my bow around this time last year and started to practice with it. And when the season opened here in October I got my deer in the opening week. The feeling you have taking your first deer with a bow, after all the practice and preparing, is one that is almost hard to describe. Good luck with whichever way you choose to go.
