Bow hunting during firearms?

[psebow]

I am going (2nd time this year) out this weekend and am super pumped...as you might have seen I am a Rookie and just got into bow huting.  What are your thoughts about bow hunting during firearms?  Am I nuts?  I was thinking the deer might be on the move/pushed due to all the hunters?  Is this true?  Also, any tips or tricks on bow hunting during firearms?  Are the deer jumpy?  Or do they act differently...I want to make sure I am not making a "rookie" mistake bow hunting during firearms.

Thanks...Safe, Excited, First Time bow hunter!

Nope never a mistake to bow hunt if that is what you want to do. How jumpy the deer are will depend on the presure where you hunt. But then if the rut is on the bucks can be just plain stupid.
Good luck in your hunting.

That makes 2 of us.....I will be in the woods with a bow as well. Not changing anything at all except there is the orange requirement. Trying to hunt everyday now until I get my buck. I made a deal with myself not to harvest a doe until I get a buck 8 points or more. I think Saturday I will be out there all day long.

Hey Fly, just between us, I heard a rhumor that those deer are calling you names behind your back -- especially that really big buck.  GO GET HIM!!!!   

And for PSEBOW, Im taking my bow with me to deer camp.  I'll use my shot gun for better range in case I do see one.  If I do get one by shot gun, then I'll go out with my bow for another.
