This why I say! Practicing before you hunt! like you hunt. Will tell you if your going to hit your stand with you bow are not?As far as the raincoat is concerned? If I was worried about hitting my sleeve at all I would you an arm band? Silent Ijust don`t want to find out these things after I am up a tree and hunting. I don`t want worry about any of that.
I do both. Like I said, I just take it one step further then you do. I wasn't worried about the raincoat hitting my arm. It isn't nearly as bulky as some of my other clothes but I was wrong and it did and they only way I found that out without making a bad shot and possibly wounding a deer was by shooting out of my stand.
Yes silent I did! Thats why I say By practing like you hunt up a tree in the stand? shooting at 3-D targets? and by moving these targets all around in every position that can be thought of and at unknown distances is in fact preparing you for most of the shots that you will be faced with.All shots no! Most shots Yes!
That's funny because I never know what tree I am going to be hunting out of nor do I know what limbs are going to be where etc when I am shooting 3D.
I don`t think you take anything one step futher than I do? Maby a different method than I to equal the sam results? I just do it before I get in the stand and you do it after your in the stand.
No, I do both. You do one step. I do two steps. Two steps minus one step equals one more step[>:]
I do not believe it is overrated at all. They depend on there nose for survival
Well it didn't work for 150,000 of them last year in Arkansas alone
We all try to set our stands to avoid the whitetails nose.But losing respect for there nose might prove to be a big mistake? It may be thebiggest buck of you life?
You are right, it might be or then again I might kill 12 more in the next 16 years. I am sure that we all get winded occaisionally and I am equally sure that there is nothing that you can doto keep from being winded 100% of the time. I am also 100% positive that you have to be hunting to be able to kill deer and sometimes you are better off hunting a stand with a less than perfect wind than you are not hunting itat all.
But no matter where you hunt for whitetails? Saying that you have lost respct for there nose just don`t seem to make common for any bowhunter to say to me.(imo)Regardless of any record.
You may be making a little too much of it. I siad I have lost some respect for the whitetails nose. That doesn't day how much respect I used to have nor does it say how much respect I currently have, but merely that I have lost some of the respect that I once had for the whitetails nose. I use to think of whitetails as being able to pick up the slightest hint of human scentfrom hundreds of yards etc. etc. I no longer think they are capable of these feats.
By practicing before the hunt or taking a shot before you enter the woods would insure you of this?
So practicing before the shot and entering the woods you can be sure that nothing came loose and that nothing was bumped loose and that your peep didn't slide etc. before it actually happens.............WOW you must be psychic
Personally I would not be worred about it!If I thought maby I snagged something going in or dropped my bow and bent something I most likely would not hunt and risk screwing up my hunting area untill I checked my equipment
Well that's what I am doing, instead of wondering or not knowing, I am checking my equipment
That way I can continue to hunt knowing everything is good to go. I don't have to leave a hunt to go check and see and I don't have to find out something happened after I wounded an animal.
