RE: Tips on getting my first deer.
I, also, am 17 years old and this is my first year bowhunting.The wayI have looked at it so far is to just put as much time into the woods as I can because you cant harvest a deer if you dont invest time into it. I find bowhunting to be HUGE challenge compared to gun hunting. On the property I hunt,I have seen a few nice shooter bucks all within gun range but not nearly within bow. It's a challenge, but try to invest as much time as you can into being in the woods and learning from it.
Good Luck
P.S. I havent filled my tags yet either [&:]
