(1) Green palmetto leaves work pretty well in a pinch. [8D]

(2) I need to sew a bowholder on my pants leg so my arm's don't get tired.

(3) I need to lose the rifle mentality - never take a marginal shot and different shot selection.

(4) Predator Fall Grey works great when skylighted (not a plug, but the deer didn't stop to fixate on me).

(5) Thinking hard about your stand selection can pay off (wind, feed, direction, etc).

(6) Never be too afraid to trim shooting lanes. [:@]

(7) Being still and prepared for a shot is about the best thing you can do on the stand.

(8) Deer love shallow ditches in the woods.

(9) Bowhunting is very difficult (not that I though it would be easy).

(10) Don't use a velcro buckle release (catches sometimes on draw = noisy).

(11) In golf, they say happiness is a long walk with the putter. Well in bowhunting, sadness is a long
walk on a good blood trail that dries up.

(12) There are more important things than deer hunting. It is amazing how it can consume you,
but sometimes we should stop, take inventory, and thank God for His creation and our blessings in life.
