I had an anterless tag I needed to use up by yetersday and I had been out in the woods 2x a day from Wednesday-Sunday night, saw 1 deer too far away. They know it's coming and have gone into noturnal mode it seems like. Goodluck to those who are able to go this week. Stay safe

My ability to hunt is limited as I know of no places around Cincinnati to hunt and would need to plan it around trips back to my mom and grandma's farms.

So your question is bow season is much longer? That is correct. Started in September, ends beginning of February.justincredible;1330078 wrote:Without going back through the entire thread or creating a new "looking to buy a..." thread, anyone a bow hunter?

Yeah, and I was planning on progressing into a discussion on decent bows/brands.Pick6;1330082 wrote:So your question is bow season is much longer? That is correct. Started in September, ends beginning of February.
I recommend a Hoyt. Cant give any specific because Im not into bow hunting..too impatient to sit in a tree stand. But they are one of, if not the best brands.justincredible;1330087 wrote:Yeah, and I was planning on progressing into a discussion on decent bows/brands.
You can shoot 'em at Bass Pro Shops? Might have to run over there in a few weekends.Enforcer;1330093 wrote:Mathews, Hoyt, PSE are great Bows , Bear makes a good bow, with great pricing. If Your serious about getting a Bow, You need to find a Bow shop or even go to Bass Pro in Cincy and just shoot a bunch of them , Get the one that feels the most comfortable for You to shoot
Oh, I'm a cheapskate. I almost always test out in stores and then buy online unless it's something I need immediately.Enforcer;1330097 wrote:Yes, I shot a few crossbows there last year. Dicks sporting goods will also let You test out a Bow, When I was in in the market for a new Crossbow, I went to Dicks and shot a few when I decided on the Bow I wanted I looked on Ebay for the one I wanted and got it for $150 less, So keep that in mind before You buy

I hadn't really thought of craigslist. I know you can't buy guns on there so I never gave it much thought as far as other weaponry.Benny The Jet;1330303 wrote:That is a nice bow. Just keep in mind, when you buy it, unless I'm reading it wrong, you'll have to add a lot to it. As far as quiver, sights etc. So you may be looking at some more $ for that as well. Just FYI. I found mine on Craigslist ready to hunt for around 200$. Was able to go shoot it before buying, and have taken 2 deer so far with it. May be another option.
