There is not a quick and easy solution to getting a deer with a bow. A lot of things must happen or you simply will not be successfull. Scent control and hunting a favorable wind are important above all else. If they smell you a lot of times you will not even know it and you just won't see any deer. A deer lives and dies by its sense of smell.

You also must hunt an area where the deer are going to be or are going to. This is a food source or a bedding area. I prefer food sources in the evening and bedding areas in the morning. The best way to do this is to find the travel route between the two and hang a stand there. Of course this is all easier said than done. You have to learn the lay of the land you are hunting and figure it all out.

Deer hunting is filled with hours of boredom and seeing nothing from the stand. When you finally tag a deer it is worthwhile. Using myself as an example, I've been out 22 times to bowhunt for deer so far this year, have over 95 hours in a tree stand and I only have 1 deer, a spike, to show for it. In those 95 hours, I've learned a lot about my land and what I want to do to it for next season. I've learned a lot about the deer themselves also. Just keep being out there and eventually the conditions will allow you a shot if you do your part. There are no guarantees, but persistance usually pays off.
