What has bow hunting taught you besides bow hunting?
I've become more directed and focused since taking up bow hunting. It is such a precise intricate sport that it has pushed me to become more precise in other areas of my life.
Just wondered if any of you felt this way too?

There's more to life than going out with the wrong crowd and doing bad stuff, and that I love the woods more than my family will EVER know. Last but not least, the fact that I learned to be patient in getting that first deer, and I am now on my way to a successful hunting future I can someday share with my kids and grandkids.

I learned that no matter how much dough you spend, there's always someting else you want..........I mean need.
I learned that if you forget something in the truck, you'll need it while you're out in the woods.
I learned to carry 2 flashlights, because new batteries don't fix a bad bulb.
You can never have to many pairs of boots..........or treestands.
I learned if you are very patient, sooner or later, you will get rained on. I also learned not to laugh at the guy with the camo umbrella hanging over his head. Best money he probably ever spent.
I learned that a set of electric boot dryers are an amazing thing to own when you hunt several days in a row.
I learned that a broadhead will cut your bowstring in the dark.
And lastly, the 2 most important things that I have personally learned: if you're 5 minutes late getting to your stand, there WILL be deer under it; and secondly, if you climb down 5 minutes early, deer that you didn't see will magically appear and then run away.
