Our season here in michigan started October 1. This year the lower peninsula inacted a no baiting law. First year hunting with the homemade longbow, wood arrows...the whole nine yards. Any non fawn was going to get it, being the first for the longbow. Missed a fat little 4 point opening day and haven't seen squat yet. What I learned?
Longbows with heavy wood arrows are much much slower than a compound,
Deer really can duck an arrow out of these slow bows,
It's time to break out the compound, get a deer, and then go back to the longbow
My brother (DPD6030) got a nice 12 point opening week with his pse compound.
