I just started bow hunting in 2015, I did so just for the challenge. Trying to position yourself and draw a bow back without getting busted by a deer at 10yds is a challenge to say the least. I have faced the situation that canvasback mentioned twice on the same deer at 73yds and it is very frustrating, but there has been a huge benefit from only bow hunting our property that many people disregard. I hunt 15-20 acres and every year that one of killed a deer early in the season with a rifle we saw few to no deer the rest of the year. After going bow only, we are seeing deer the entire season regardless of when we kill a deer. The neighbors on both sides use rifles which helps no doubt, but based on my observation over the years the deer are less skittish now.
