Dude we have all been there. I started bow hunting when I was 14, I did not kill a deer until I was 19!!!!!! I missed, I went and didn't see any a lot, I blew chances for lack of knowledge. I have killed 17 deer with the bow now and Im just getting somewhat comfortable with shooting at live animals. Im 32 yrs old and I learned a lot over the years, just keep going and become "eat up" with this passion for bowhunting, the deer will come to you if you put yourself in the right place. Remember, scent control will help bring them in closer and don't worry about big bucks and numbers, if you hunt long enough you will get your chances. Learn every ounce of info from this forum, these guys are good and they are helpful.. don't give up!!
