re: Question for the Bow Hunters

To the OP

Go to a reliable local archery shop or retailer such as Bass Pro or Cabelas to get fitted. Before buying a bow you need to know what size/draw length to look for. Some are variable up to 4 inches or so. Some are not, so this is the MOST critical part of your bow choice.
Single cam bows are a bit more forgiving than hybrid/binary cam set ups or two cam set ups. Same with brace height (You want 7" or better, which makes for a more forgiving bow)
They will try to put a whisker biscuit arrow rest on it. Not a terrible choice for a beginner ,but if you can afford it go with a drop away. You will thank me later.
Practice practice,practice. Preferably up to 40 yards if you can keep your groups the size of a dinner plate or smaller. By the time you go hunting a twenty yard shot will seem like a gimme.

As for hunting find some trails running either over the ridge at it's lowest dip (the saddle) or trails running along the side parallel with the ridge. Try to find multiple trail crossing points then set up stands downwind of these spots. This IS THE MOST CRITICAL ASPECT OF BOWHUNTING BAR NONE!
Scent free is terrific but you cannot beat a whitetails nose...PERIOD. ALl scent free and scent-loc type clothing does is minimize your odor. NOTHING can eliminate it, no matter what you hear or read. So to be successful you need to be downwind of where you expect the deer to travel. Draw your bow as they pass behind a nearby tree or look away. And aim at a patch of hair or a shadow in the kill zone...not just the side of the deer. It is a common beginners mistake and can lead to miss's as well as wounded/lost deer.
Give a mortally wounded deer at least 30 minutes before attempting to track. Iffy shots 3-4 hours.
