tone down the grunt calls, most calls are too loud and will spoke deer, low sounds more realisitic, my 9 came grunting through after a hot doe, i could just hear it at 30 yards

Don' t overhunt a stand. Last year I hunted my favorite stand once a week. This year I hunted it just three times all season and saw three times as many deer.

Practice shooting a lot and get to a video archery range if you have one locally. It is hard enough to get a deer in bow range so don' t blow the shot.

hunt with a buddy that has a bum leg in case a bear attacks!! I heard that someplace............

If there is a 100 class 8 point 30 yards away, dont' be watching the four point that is 20 yards away, cause when you look back at the 8 point, he will be standing in the shooting lane, and then slowly walks away. Man I do some stupid stuff sometimes.

This shouldnt be taken the wrong way but I hope you get the point.

I have learned this year that when a good shot is available...take it...because the opportunity for a " great" shot may not come.

When you tell your dad that the frozen pallets at the trail head going into the swamp are slippery, never demonstrate just how slippery they are. As my friend did.:D

Patience and persistence. I was about ready to call it a season after the way things started for me. I keep going and keep sitting it the heat, in the cold, in the rain...
