I agree that the home study course is OK, and I have gathered a lot of information from these forums. However, I work a weekend schedule and cannot make a commitment to a traditional hunters safety course. I am always willing to try to fling some arrows.

I have a Diamond Infinite bow that I got as a package about 2 years ago that I would be using. I also use Beman ICS patriot arrows. I haven't really done any major bow tuning. I have a 29.5" DL and the bow is set up for 50# DW. I haven't had too much opportunity to shoot it in the past but...

Watched a few on tv on Saturday mornings when nothing else was on and when I had satellite. Also in the process of taking the at home course for hunters safety.

Good luck. From the video it looks like a perfectly good waste of some firewood.

I agree, however my schedule currently is constrained to the max!! I was hoping for pictures mainly because most of the deer I have seen over my lifetime have been from the road, either in the passenger or drivers seat of a vehicle.

A few days ago, I posted that I am going to be a new bow hunter during the deer season this upcoming year (2015 season). I also have come to the realization that with my financial circumstances and budget, I will not be able to afford a good deer stand (unless someone is getting rid of theirs)...

That's awesome.

I have not yet secured any private land but was planning on talking to a few land owners in the next week or two. Otherwise, I live on knox lake and would have easy access to public land.

Hey everyone, I am going to be new to hunting this upcoming season (would've done it last season but my son was born in September). I was just wanting to get general advice as far as bow hunting. Things like stand versus stalk, how to predict wind, how much to practice, etc. I am planning on...
