I took my shoes off once to try getting at a doe , I didnt realize another doe was watching me the whole time ,all I got for the effort was wet feet LOL
I get that ,I've killed deer with the bow while still hunting . I can never get into the looking off a cliff all day or driving around looking for deer.
Your range will be more limited but it will teach you to be a better hunter . To me it's way more exciting to get up close to an animal as opposed to sending it 300 yards across a field.
