So ive been hunting for three years. When i first started i bought a cheep bow and it gets the jb done but i need a new one. What would you suggest. I want a compound bow with a 70 pound draw weight and im 19 years old so what would fit me best. Ive thought about PSE and Mathews but which one specificly is a good bow for whitetail deer hunting?

You ask a question like this, and some will tell you to buy this bow, or that bow. Which is natural, because most love their bows. There are alot of great bows on the market right now. You really can't go wrong with any the brands. The competition amongst manufacturers is so high, its brought out the best in most all them.
So what I suggest is go to anyplace you can around you, Bass Pro, and Gander like said. Shoot different models, and brands. My first thing is how does the grip feel in my hand. You'll find thats where alot of difference is. Then I like to check a bows balance. Hold it out , and see how it steadies in hand, if tilts forward or back. Then I just look at the bow overall, how vertical to limbs is the string, the clearance on bow shelf. Look down it like where arrow should sit. Just those types little things. Then of course the specs: Length, brace height, draw weight, adjustable draw lengths, single or dual- binary cam system. Of course ask to shoot it, see how it feels. Any vibrations at shot. Then make your pick.
