Default RE: First time Bow Hunting

The first few years keep it simple...Start by learning about the different type oaks in your area and which the deer prefer...
White oaks are preferred in most areas of the country...Learn what a white oak is and go through the area with your binoculars
and look up into the trees and see if you have a good crop of acorns this year...If you can find a 2-5 year old cutover then the
deer will bed in that area and come to the oaks to feed...If you can find trees within a few hundred yard of these bedding areas
then you are in business...Deer will also bed in swamps, so if you have swampy areas check them out as well...

Hopefully, you enjoy being outdoors and seeing wildlife, to me it's better than TV...I tell folks, if you get into this to kill, you are in it
for the wrong reason...Good Luck...
