Before just going out and hunting make sure you pratice cuz you dont want to wond a animal. go out and scout and learn the land you are hunting. try to find trails and rubs, even if they are old rubs ive heard that deer come back to some of the same ones. ive made a bad shot on a deer and we looked for that thing for 5 hours and never found it and this was at the begining of bow seasonand it was hot so whenwe went looking for the deer the next day we found it but since it was so hot it had spoiled an wasent any good. so please make sure you pratice.
