This has been my third year with a bow and it seems I'm successful every other year. First year got lucky with a young moose, last year had a few close opportunities but no deal, this year so far I've tagged out on a bull moose and a whitetail doe. Keep in mind I log prob around 30 - 40 evenings or mornings in an archery season. It's not easy. With this cold weather I'll be picking up my rifle this weekend thank you very much. I've yet to commit to the whitetail rut with my bow. Maybe if it warms up a bit. All that bulky clothing gets in the way of the string. Maybe time for some new camo for Christmas
