patience!
#1 problem new hunters have is sitting and waiting for the deer to come or for the right shot. You have many years of hunting ahead of you so just don't rush anything. Enjoy your time in the woods even if you don't harvest anything. Study your game and learn its habits and success will come eventually.
Good luck!

RE: Newbie
if you are going to sit behind your blind make sure you practice shooting from a sitting position or if your going to kneel than practice from thatposition and so on. Have fun and dont take any shot other than a perfect one!

Welcome
Ask questions here and learn from our mistakes.
Since you will be hunting from a ground blind I have a good example for you.
Like everyone here will tell you, you need to practice from the position you will be hunting in the field. I took that advice. Soooo, I set up my pop up blind in my yard and attempted to shoot from a sitting position in my blind.
First: On the first shot the bottom limb of my bow smacked my knee.
Second: Just because you can see your target through the peep and sight doesnt mean that your arrow has a clear path to the target. Instead of the arrow going through the mesh material of the blind it went through the blind itself below the window. The arrow leaves the bow well below your sight line.
Again welcome to the forum

RE: Newbie
Good point DannyD!! I've had my arrow clip many a tree limb after I shot because the arrow takes a completely different line to the intended target than what you see through your peep!
Also, If you want to learn some things about bowhunting, you've found a great resource in this web-site. Start reading through some of the posts and you will find plenty of helpful information to get you on the right track. Most importantly though, respect the land that you hunt, and the game that you pursue, because they deserve that from each of us.

I take it your using dead fall and branchs for your blind if so don't forget to add some leaves and maybe you can add some type of roof .
Make sure your shooting lanes are clear and good luck to ya have a safe and secessful season.
