If you are hunting where the deer are(specially with a bow) it is very easy to over hunt I don't care how you get in and out or how early you go in and out.

If you are hunting big bucks where they live they are going to detect your presence very quickly whether it be on your way in, on your way out, or even after you are gone.

There is a very fine line between too much and not enough.

You simply can't go where a big mature buck goes over and over again and him not know it.

What a lot of people overlook is what happens after you are gone. You don't have to be there to get busted. Unless you learn when the time is right the chances of him detecting your presence before you ever get a shot are very high.

Its all about timing. Its easy to hunt where a mature buck will be but it is much harder to know when he will be there in the daylight before he comes by in the dark and figures out you have been there.

Gun hunting is very different when you can set up 100 yards from where he frequents and the season is shorter and often during the time of year he is likely to be on his feet in the daylight.
