Attention to details. Learn all you can about deer. Read everything you can get your hands on. Watch deer in the wild. Study everything they do. What do they eat? how do they react to things. Keep your gear simple and in Perfect working order. Slow down in the woods and take the time to really study everything. Become a deer hunting CSI guy.
Excellent advice. I read all the time. I "try" to know where the deer I hunt are at any given time throughout the season. It's tough.....but "fun". If you know what they're eating, though.....you've got a LOT of this stuff licked.
The best teacher by far is failure. If you keep doing the same ole same ole you will always get the same ole results. Failure will make or break a bow hunter.
More good stuff. I've failed enough to know this. Thanks, Chris.
