Getting started
Hello all. I am new to the forum - just getting started in bow hunting. I have a few questions as I outfit myself for the upcoming season in Virginia. I am shooting a Legacy at 61lbs with PSE 200 arrows. I am still deciding on what broadheads to buy, but think I have narrowed the search to Muzzy 100gr or the Grim Reapers. I have to verify, but believe mechanicals are legal in Virginia.
Anyways, I will likely hunt mostly from the ground - heights and I don't get along too well. On occasion, I may stand hunt, but mostly will be from the ground. I am trying to determine what I "need" and what would be a waste of money in terms of clothing. I have a "pass" from the wife to b uy what I need...deal was that I bring home venison! >:0
I am looking at the Rancho Safari ghillie suit - are ghillies the way to go? The maker apparently is a avid bow hunter and has designed the longcoat to be friendly to bow shooters...any thoughts on ghillie suits?
Also, I have been reading about eliminating scents...is it better to use the sprays or is it worthwhile to buy a scent-lok pair of undergarments? I anticipate varying temperatures from mild (early fall) to cold (end of season) in virginia, so thinking getting the scent-lok as a base layer is smarter than buying it integrated in jackets and pants since during gun season I will need blaze orange...
Any thoughts would be appreciated from the collective.
Cheers,
Matt
