Do you leave your bow strung during the whole hunting season or do you unstring it after the hunt of the day??

I keep mine strung all year as long as I shoot it 2 to 3 times a week. If not I unstring it.

Unstring after every shooting. Then again, I hunt with a horn composite, and they get weak if you leave them strung.

I leave it strung during season. When hunting season is closed I unstring it if I don't think ill shoot in the next few days.

My recurves stay strung. I've seen more recurves damaged by stringing and unstringing than any other cause. Longbows, I usually unstring unless I know I'll be using it the next day.

It wont hurt a glass bow to leave it strung for long periods if its hung up properly ..... More recurve bows are damaged stringing them up than any thing else....

Leave mine strung unless I know I won't be shooting for a few weeks. String/unstringing is where most problems can occur. In fact, Norm Johnson with Blacktail bows recommends leaving them strung.

I unstring every day. Not necessary, but a habit born when everything I read told me it was.

recurves and longbows with glass are fine for it.
