Like 1Shot said, it was so hot down south that I didn't have a good start come mid-September when bow season began. I did eventually take two does with my crossbow--one in late October and another on Thanksgiving morning. The first was a 40 yard heart shot from a ground blind. The second was a 20 yard double lung hit from an elevated blind. I had kept bow hunting because I was so busy with work that it was easier to hunt small suburban tracts. Then on Jan 2nd when I was able to take some time off work, I took a buck with my 18" AR Grendel at about 100 yards. He was DRT and I was very thankful, because it started raining hard while I was field dressing him. I gave at least one of them away because I ran out of freezer space. Never made it out for small game. And turkey season has been put on hold due to this coronavirus panic.
