The archery movement in Alabama is real. It adds a whole new dimension to hunting, but it also has it’s advantages too: it’s stealthy and quiet.
The single most advantageous idea behind bow hunting is that it doesn’t make a booming sound like a rifle. More and more hunters are doing their doe management with bows instead of rifles simply because it puts less pressure on the deer. Deer associate the boom from a rifle with death, but what do they associate the whisper of a bow with…? Nothing, because they cannot hear it.
Not only is it quiet, but it also levels the playing field in a sense. How hard is it to sit in a tree with a rifle and harvest a deer? Not very difficult, but how about with a bow? It’s tough.
Being efficient with a bow takes dedication, diligence, and precision. You have to know the ins and outs of your weapon and deliver a precise shot while being stealthy as possible.
If you haven’t jumped on board with archery movement in Alabama, think about it.
Your approach to doe management is my sentiment, too. Bring your movement to Kansas!
