Default RE: Question for experienced bow hunters!

OK.........First welcome to the board! You can learn a lot here, and I' ll try to help right off the bat.

#1 Does are NOT target practice! They are also not tracking practice, They are an animal that will teach you many of the rights and wrongs about bowhunting and don' t take a mature doe lightly, just because there might be more of them, they are NO PUSHOVERS! and above all........They are an animal that should be treated with the same respect as their male counterparts.
Don' t you dare shoot at a doe with the attitude of " Oh well its only a doe" ! You tell me that and you will have a serious lecture on your hands I guarantee you of that.

Along with the mechanics of hunting and shooting a bow, you will need to also devolp the proper " Attitude" and respect for your quarry.

You will need to be close, and you will quickly learn to respect that big ol' doe when she spooks quicker than that nice buck that is your ultimate goal.

Practice hard with your bow, know your limitations on shooting and don' t stray from that. Have fun and learn from your mistakes.......
