Fresh Start to the 2010 Deer Season

[Altiman94]

The 2009 season was a downer (almost).  I did harvest a doe (with muzzy) and a doe (with compound).  Then I devoted the rest of the year to the recurve (my bob lee).  I never did get a shot on anything, but it was refreshing having it in the woods.

Fast forward to 2010 season, my wife and I have moved to a new area due to a job.  I have new public land to hunt and spent the first two days of season with the trad bow.  I'm thinking I'm going to ditch the compound forever and keep with it.

I don't have the freezer space I did last year, but still hoping to take a nice buck.  If I get a doe in range, maybe let one fly also.

With that said...I have a deer roast in the crock pot with all the fix ins.  

What words of wisdom do you all have for sticking to the trad bow and ditching the compound forever?

Only you can have the feel or not if your complete with traditional only.

I can hike forever with my traditional bow in hand, something I could never do with my compound as they get heavy, heavy and heavier.  Dang, I bumped the sight now I got to shoot it to see if I'm still on etc..... Watch them cams and wheels, dang is it bent?  Hunt over.

With traditional bows, you carry an extra sting in your pocket and go.  So relaxing, and I think you get the picture from there.  If I get a deer or an elk down with my traditional bow.... what a bonus.

That would be a totally personal decision on your part.  If you are going to be out in the woods wondering "what if i had my compound", then it wouldn't be worth it.
