If you are going to take him hunting with you, sabotage his tune and do not show him the hot spots. " Beginner' s luck" is real!

Put him in a hot spot if you can. The earlier he gets his deer the sooner he will be hooked for life

The same way you were taught!!!! You gotta go through the bumps and bruises to learn bowhunting. My $0.02 anyway.

Like they' ve said before, patience, have fun, and take them w/ you every chance you get. Don' t forget, we were all novices at one point!

I think the biggest thing is to keep interest which means... High percentage sighting spots... They don' t have to be Monster Bucks he' s seeing, but he needs to see deer... Otherwise he' ll get bored and disinterested... But just seeing deer will keep him interested...
