2.How far will I be able to kill a deer with a 40 lb. draw weight.
3.Mechanical broad head or what?
4.What sounds better,my granmas land 5 acres of wood's 15 acres ofopen with a pond but it's by a highway,but I have been seeing a doe with her fawn around their,or LOTS!!!!of woods open fields!!!!!water good grass but it's my neighbors and I am not sure if he will let me hunt their,and last but not least,25 acres of wood's with other timber in spot's water field and thats where i also rifle hunt,but the guy rented it off and I am not sure if the guy renting it will let me hunt.
5.My neighbor is just 50 yrds. away and I was wandering if I ask do I call or ask in person?That's kind of a dumb stupid question but what would yall do?

2) 30 yards max
3) mechanical (rage)
4) get as much huntable land as you can possibley get..the more the better. don't limit yourself to just a smaller piece. Ask your neighbor in person, they appreciate that better.

RE: BOW HUNTING QUESTIONS!!!
no problem.
make sure you are shooting well out to 30 yards both with the broadheads and field points. if you cannot afford a tree stand, then you can make a ground blind next to the deer trails you find or get a cheap ground blind to use.
good luck!

RE: BOW HUNTING QUESTIONS!!!
Just a quick comment here. I'm not out to start a huge debate. I think the conventional wisdom seems to be a 2 blade fixed broadhead for light poundage bows and was wondering if 40 lbs. might not fit into that category. But I will say this, if using a mechanical the rage is the only way to go.
