Its all trial and error. You will learn as you make mistakes. The more you are out in the field the better of a hunter you will become. Just as in life. I too will have to admit you will be addicted to hunting. Especially if you didnt growup hunting and your a little bit older. You will have that misterious hunting fever that is ten fold of the average hunter. Time, patience and a steady hand and youll have it made. It wont be long you will no longer care to shoot does and move up to the big bucks.
