Don't be discouraged. Time and experience takes time and experience. That sounds stupid but it's true. I know guys that have bowhunted for several years and have not made a kill. I am a novice bowhunter although I hunted with guns for years. I ask a ton of questions on this forum and will continue to do so. Be careful out there and if you have a question ask it. Everyone had to learn at some point. I think you will enjoy bowhunting. Be patient, scentfree, quiet, and hunt the wind and you may just get your first deer before me.
