I believe it is better to let one get away and live to hunt another day than take unnecessary risks.
When seconds count, the police are only minutes away...

i think it's funny that people are citing the reason they walk around with an arrow nocked is to save time in the shot sequence when we all know it takes you wheelie bow guys about 6 hours and 45 minutes to draw, anchor, check your level bubble on your sight, line up the sight pin with the peep, put your finger on the release trigger, put the pin on target and actually shoot.  what's an extra few seconds to remove the arrow from your quiver?

traditional tackle rules!!!

most of the time i hunt with my arrows in the quiver, But if i hear/see/smell elk then the stalk is on with one nocked! Full contained drop away rest! Most of the area i hunt is so thick you cannot have an arrow nocked.
