RE: How did you....
 

I moved into our present home 14 years ago. The next year was the great flood of 1993. I live about 1 mile from the Missouri River and you wouldn't believe the deer that got pushed off the islands and flood plain into the surrounding area. Gun hunting was not an option so I started asking people if I could bow hunt and got permission to hunt a few properties. Then I read mags. and watched videos and visited archery shops and taught myself.

i got involved because i filled my rifle tag within 15 minutes of the opening day start. my wife asked me what i planned on doing the rest of the winter and i was devastated!!! i went to my local archery shop and found some very knowledgable and helpful people that really got me started on my way. i've been bow hunting for 3 years now and got my first buck with a bow this year.... the best part was that my 10 yr old son was able to share the moment with me. we set up in a ground blind made hastily with branches and rattled the buck within 9 yards when i arrowed it through both lungs.... what an exiting moment to share with my boy. i'm hooked!

I decided to try it here after reading about it in some magazines when I was in high school. It was just to see if I could do it type of thing. Back then I didn't know of no one trying archery hunting up here. I was laughed at and tha whole bit. Now there is quite a few archery hunters up this way and some folks are really impressed how some deer are getting shot that way. I am one that stalks so my style of hunting is some what harder to do but, I enjoy it.

I would have to say my friends.

Don't remember how I heard about it, but I started bow hunting deer on my own and learned nearly everything the hard way - on my own.

RE: How did you....
 

Self taught, when I started it was all about a 3 month season vs 2 week for gun, but now I'd rather be in a tree with the bow than any other kind of hunting I've done.
I've also had some friends follow my lead.

RE: How did you....
