#3 i dont know if i would trust a homemade job that has been in the woods and weather that long

#4 if cash is an issue Quiktune makes some cheaper rests. cheap sights should be easy to find im just not recalling any name brands right off the top of my head.

#5 you found the link you need for green bowhunters

if you gotta gun you can always hunt off the ground. sounds like you could sit inside the tree rows and watch the fields anyway. you still got alot of season left to hunt and its never to late. as hot as its been there is a good chance the deer have been using your streams for watering. look for some tracks around the banks. you never know what you will find when you scout. looks like you will have about 3 months of rifle season to hunt. that is more than most states.

good luck and let us know what you see.

yes sir im sure your reading that right. in tennessee bows are allowed during the whole hunting season. even during muzzleloader and gun. bows are harder to hunt with. thats why they are allowed all season.

just remember to wear your orange if its also muzzleloader or gun season.
