KNOW YOUR EQUIPMENT INSIDE AND OUT...BE CONFIDENT..

X2 Thats one of the biggies man.

Dont "think" you know anything about where they are gonna come from or what they are gonna do. You must be ready at all times.

Trust your instinct on shot placement -
If it fell like a good hit it probably is - and if not - back out -and come back later - much later if need be.

Think outside of the box too. This setup below was done in a pinoak tree roughly 8 ft off of the ground, only tree possible so make it work, or don't hunt. I could have jumped on this buck and killed him with a knife to the juggler. Too many people would have never went to the little bit of brain power it took to rig this setup. The tree was to small of diamter to hook my stand to, so I made the tree thicker. The results show the proof.














There he is directly under me...just feet away..his body is under the big leaf.






Walking away..none the wiser
Good stuff Don!!

I have two..
1st...Learn to tune your own equipment yourself, there aren't any mobile bowshops that come to the woods if something happens.
2nd. practice, practice,practice!.. I don't know how many people I've seen that could hardly hit a 3-d target on a controlled course,yet they still go hunting.

To steal a quote from the great antler eater "I cannot control what walks by my treestand, but I can control that i'll be there when it does!"
