Does your bow have a "off" season?

Does your bow have a "off" season?
Arkansas season is still going{Feb 28}, but after hunting season do you hang your bow up until next season? my bow does not have a "off" season as I turkey hunt with it in spring then shoot it everyday after that; I love shooting year round and look for every chance to shoot targets or whatever else I can find;
Just wondering if your bow is used for only a little while or if your bow is like mine, never "cools off".........................thanks

Hunt hard, respect what you hunt and waste no meat;
offseason
Never really is a shut down for bow's.
When hunting season ends then it's time for more Bolt testing and target shooting. Now, this winter and Spring I have to learn the new art of "Traditional Bow" shooting.
So it's all good!
No time to hang up the Crossbow or any bow, anymore.
In fact, I believe hunting season is when the bow's get the least amount of actual shooting.

I used to reduce the groundhog population behind the house in the off season with my Excal's after my dog's passed away. I did'nt thin any out last year so there should be 12 or more adults this spring, plus there new pup's. The wife has bird feeders and they come to the yard for feed on the ground.
You gotta spot and stalk groundhogs. I'd locate there dens then figured out set up's. I sat on the roof of my shed for a few, also stood behind trees.
