If you could give one piece of advice?
I think there was a similar postlast year and thought it was very helpful.
If you could give one piece of advice to a any bowhunter young or old, new or veteran what would it be?
Mine would be:
Be patient.. Last year Ikinda found myself movingaround to other properties too much and not giving some hunting spots a chance. No patience=no buck. Tag soup doesn't taste too good[:'(]. This year I'm going back to my old ways of being more patient, whichusually turned out pretty good.

To new guys: Don’t force the shot. If it’s not there, it’s not there.
Conversely to your advice though is what burned me last year. Don’t be afraid to move and change things up. Sticking it out and giving a property TOO much chance killed me.

My piece of advice is that your can't kill deer if your not in the woods. Even if the weathers bad...the animals are still out.

The good news is that there are MORE good bucks in our area this year than last because the weather has been much better for antler growth. I only saw 2 "shooters" all season last year, this year will be better. I've already seen better looking deer this year than last, and no reports of EHD is definitely going to be an improvement over last year.
As for advice, I'd say to NEVER look a deer in the eye!!!!

First, have fun and be safe. That is why we are out there in the first place.
Second, Put the time in the stand and trust your instincts. Hopefully there is a reason that you picked the tree that your sitting in. Trust those insticts and go with them. My buddy did that last year, found a tree that he thought was perfect, hunted that stand a bunch of times without seeing anything, then eventually shot the biggest buck of his life.

I was watching a hunting show the other day and they hada deer biologist on the show. He said that deer must move every 3-4 hours to eat, because of their digestive system.
Hence, if deer are moving every 3-4 hours at a minimum then they must move during the middle of the day too. Too many hunters only hunt morning or evening, but the middle of the day can be more than worth your time.So, be on your stand all day. That's right, you put all this effort into hunting, but if you aren't there you will miss out.
