The internet has been beneficial for me personallymore from a technical aspect of bowhunting. As far as learning about the deer I hunt, hands down the mountains and actual deer themselves thatIscout andhunt; theyteach me more than any book or internet can; simply due to the fact that there are very few whitetail bowhunters whom hunt the kind of habitat and variables that coincide with the enviroment thatI hunt in. Thereis onlyso much an internet thread, magazine articles, tv shows can do period.You have to get your hands dirty and learn from experience, trial and error. It's that way with anything in life,book smart will only get you so far. My college degree didnt give memy fulleducation, the real world did once I threw myself into the job, but it wasmy college degree that opened upthe door.

Thetopreason whyI use the internet is for socialpurposes, I live in the sticks and simply enjoy visiting with other passionate hunters. I have made some great friends and sharedawesome times with folks fromHNI.
