For me and in my opinion,
I took alot ot time selcting a bow, doing research on what type of arrow how much it should weigh, what type of broadhead to use, what type of fletching to use, what rest to buy etc

Then I spent hours upon hours trying to figure out how to tune my bow and once I had that figure out, is my form correct?

Then of course there aremany weeks of practicing to shoot an arrow in groups tight enough to consider it acceptable for hunting

I then had to sift through all thedo i need or don't i need scent conntrol clothing, or scent cover sparays or attractants, then which kind for what situation?
What type of clothing should I buy, figure out what is actually necessary and what is BS

So now where do I hunt? I don't own any land. Try and get permission, go on public property.

Spend days and days scouting trying to figure out exactly what deer sign is, what it means.

Figure out what kind of stand to buy and where to put it and how to use it safely

I'm not sure what it's like where you hunt but If I get to see 5 deer all year and 1 of them is a buck I had a banner year.

Maybe you forgot what it's like to be new to this sport but it is a lot to learn. I never knew anyone who hunted when I was growing up. So all of what I learned I had to pick up all of this prior to ever stepping into the woods
So if i do all of thiswith everything I put into being ready to shoot that first arrow and add on top of that the excitement of actually being there and hunting, and a fawn is the first one that actually comeis into my comfortable bow range....It's mine
Will I be proud of it. You betcha!!.
