Why Archery Season is Special
Vermont’s fall archery season offers a unique hunting experience. Unlike other seasons, archery provides a more intimate connection with nature, requiring patience, precision, and skill. The use of bows or crossbows creates a quieter and more challenging hunt, making each shot count.
Chris Sanborn explains how gear can make all the difference. From selecting the right bow to understanding the necessary accessories, like stabilizers, quivers, and sights, getting the right equipment is essential. He’ll dive into the latest trends in archery technology and explain how advancements in equipment have made the sport more accessible than ever before.
Fall Hunting Tips from the Expert
Chris will also cover some of the best strategies for a successful archery hunt. As deer movement changes with the cooler weather, understanding where to set up and how to track deer becomes crucial. Chris offers valuable tips on scouting areas, using trail cameras, and choosing the right stand or blind locations.
He’ll also emphasize the importance of safety during the hunt, from proper tree stand setup to ethical hunting practices. For hunters looking to improve their shooting accuracy, Chris will discuss how to hone your skills before hitting the woods, ensuring that every shot you take is intentional and well-placed.
