Our bow season opens Saturday. Deer are still in summer mode where I hunt until the third week of October, or so. Thirty miles south they are in pre-rut now and the rut will peak in a couple of weeks, before our's even starts. I have bowhunted whitetails a long time and learned a lot about doing it.
My best advice is to practice with your bow, hunt where deer live and be still.
Oh... we're going dove hunting next weekend. Too damn hot.
