"he xbow is loud" comment seals the deal on you needing to have them close.Thanks for all the replies. Gonna take heed of all the advice given since I've never hunted with an Xbow, and it's much appreciated. The Xbow is loud when the string is released.
Since we're working a lot of overtime because of the Rona, hunting time is limited this year. Originally intended to hunt from our anchored boat, but now I'm re-thinking that strategy because of the advice given (distance).
Several of the places we fish Kerr Scott Lake is along the wildlife management areas, and we've seen tons of deer most every evening before dark, just wandering down to the edge of the lake, grazing like a herd of cattle. They pay no heed to our boat while we're fishing. However, they're typically 40-60 yards away from where we're usually anchored. Mostly does, but I'm an equal opportunity Hunter when it comes to filling the freezer. I'm thinking now - what I'll do is go early, take a stand, and get set up back in the edges where the deer enter the open late in the evening. That would put me at a closer range, 15-25 yards max....
Thanks again for the advice...
Good Luck when you go. Archery season extends our time in the woods during some great times to kill one before the masses hit the woods.
