Getting Your Bow Into Discreet Properties
Here’s my scenario, neighborhood I’m in has property across the channel it also owns. Anyone in the neighborhood can hunt it, but it’s bow only and you can only access by crossing the channel (40-50ft wide). Not many people know about it so I want to be as discreet as possible to not get any anti’s wound up. Any ideas how to hide my bow when paddling over? My big plastic bow case doesn’t seem ideal

Only make the crossing before daylight/after dark
Speed is fine...Accuracy is final.

Re: Getting Your Bow Into Discreet Properties
Couldn't you just cover it up with something? Tarp? Blanket? camo netting?

I can’t hunt dawn to dusk so there’s always one crossing that will be exposed.

Probably just have the CO on speed dial in case someone shows up to harass you.

Sounds like more than anti's to me. It is also others that dont know about it that he doesnt want finding out and adding pressure.
You could get a traditional takedown bow

Re: Getting Your Bow Into Discreet Properties
Buy an inexpensive bow and keep it stashed on the opposite side of the channel in a case under some camo netting

You’re not wrong about this either

Could always opt for a little deeper canoe or even one of the Insights bow carrier backpacks that you could throw like a rain fly over. https://www.amazon.com/INSIGHTS-Hunting ... B07DVQHL1T

I think if you can move as quickly and quietly as possible and just get to where you need to be with as few people seeing you as possible, stash the canoe as well as you can and get to hunting. With that said sometimes there is just no way to hide it. If your canoe is big enough you could certainly lay it down flat in the canoe to hide it a bit better. However wearing camo and packing a stand might also give you away, not sure a person can hide everything.

Wear a bright colored North Face or Patagonia jacket and slap a "I HEART MUSKRATS" sticker on the side of your canoe and stash the bow in the bottom.

I’m considering having my outer camo layers in the compartment and have stands already hung. The good thing is I literally only have to kayak about 50 yards in the open, pull the kayak into the woods and I’m good. But I’m exposed to about 10 houses. Just trying to be creative

I imagine that bringing a deer back would also be an issue if you have a successful hunt? Unless you can quarter it up and pack it out but that might also draw unwanted attention.
