RE: First Year Bowhunter - Looking for Advise???
Welcome kkeiser, your getting some great advise above and thank you on your recommendation of my yearly thread of what to do after the shot along with all the great replies therein.
My advisce, enjoy it. There is no season that can be enjoyed more. Absorb all the sights, the smells and experiences. Bowhunting is so much more than just sending a well placed arrow through an animal. It's about getting back close to nature. Experience it all and don't place so much emphasis on the animal but the experience. The animal will come.
