    I'm 62 years old, and over the many years of bow hunting, I have stuck with this one rule that has helped me get drawn on any deer buck or doe. If I can see a deers eye I do not draw until the eye is not visible to me, either blocked by a bush while the deer is walking, waiting until the deers head is turned, or if he is walking towards me I wait until he passes me this also gives me a great quartering away shot. With the latter in mind I rarely have a shooting lane right in front of my stand. Most are cut at a 45° on either side of me for a quartering away shot. A deers eye is programmed to see movement, and if you move within its vision they're going to see you.

    Pay attention to where the sun is going to be for your morning or evening setup. You have to go with the wind direction, but if you can get the sun behind you for that time of day, you don't have to have the sun in your eyes, and the animal will have to look toward the sun to see you. Also, you can get away with more movement on breezy days, especially when the leaves are still on. If you have to move your bow, only move when the deer is moving. They are less adept at picking up your movement when they are also moving. Deer season starts here in Kentucky in five weeks!

      I have noticed that as well. They don't seem to pick you out as easily if they're moving too. Within reason of course.

    Hunt the edge. The edge doesn't mean where woods meet agriculture. Edge is where the thick meets open timber close to ridges and saddles. 40 years of bowhunting, I learned early on where to set up. I still live to that set up.

      Nice should have followed where they went after the bump because come season they're changing bedding areas from hunter pressure. I did the same thing yesterday crawled up to the bean field in private edging public and got a
      Within 40 yards of 2 3 year oldish bucks 1 1.5 year old a 3 year old doe and another 2ish year old buck all three bucks were 8 pointers and 1 was a fork horn. Doe busted me on a swirl though I think I was also moving a lot getting pics. Watched for an hour or so. Snuck up on some fawns and 2 other bucks in the timber as well. 5 hours I spent out there hung some cameras was a good time. Scout post season as well to find those beds for next years hunt

    @RobertHague-n6j Před měsícem +2

    Here's another good one for people that don't think of gor experienced or new hunters also is when using a fixed pin sit from a tree or on the ground when u practice draw from your set up look at each pin and see where it hits at 10 20 30 or however far they are set for and see if any of your closer range pins hit on a tree limb or brush or anything like that because depending on the farther distance u r shooting if your short distance pin is on something u will hit that limb or brush before the arrow even gets to the animal

    Thank you THP! This video is right on point for me. Alot of hunting videos help get someone from a skill of 5 to 7, but there aren't many that take someone from a 2 to a 5. These tips may be obvious to most hunters, but they are invaluable to new hunters who are trying to learn without a mentor.
    I especially appreciated the scenario based tips (stand setup and draw timing). Explaining your thought process in real time while seeing the exact environment made a very easy to follow example. The pointing out the exact trees and saying why they were good stands (or not) was fantastic.
    I've always wanted to know how to find good food sources and know if they are hitting it recently. I hunt big woods with no oaks or ag. I would personally find a "hands on" video like this helpful in regards to identifying browse, and how you find the general area to start looking.
    I love what you guys are doing! God bless. And congrats to the newly weds!

    So much truth to the slightly quartering to or away from you. Had a doe walk maybe 8 yards in front of me and I released my arrow thinking she was broadside. Upon inspecting the entry and exit holes she was way more quartered to me than I thought. Just goes to show how much you can miss when the time from seeing the deer to your only shot opportunity being 25 seconds.

    I'm here for the tips, but I am also here to say thank you! Thank you and Bear for the Adapt Plus. I got back into bow hunting a few years ago, after taking about a 9 year hiatus. Shoulder surgeries just wouldn't allow me to do it. When I got back into it, I was shooting and old legacy bow around, but was having a lot of problems. Heard some good this about the Adapt, so I went out to get one and got the Adapt Plus instead. Got tuned and hit the grind practicing with it. What a bow! Smooth draw, great balance (to me) and the accessories are worth their weight in hunting. Opening week of the season, harvested a nice 7 pointer @25 yards or so. Followed that up with a huge management doe. Im shooting somewhere in between 55-60 lbs, and it's everything I need. They told me it was a mid-range budget bow, but I beg to differ. So thanks for all that you do to try and help the hunting community. I am a disabled Vet so it was great to find an affordable bow that has big price quality.

    @dentonjackson5418 Před 29 dny

    Y'all always have great information in your videos! Kudos on that! Something I would add as far as when to draw is always be aware of other eyes in the area. If that doe or young buck you weren't gonna shoot sees you draw and blows out of there the mature buck isn't gonna wait around to see what's going on. Also, choosing your draw weight is important. Just because you can draw a 70+ lb bow doesn't mean it's ideal. Drawing lower weight and being able to hold it back for extended time is more important than being faster

    New to this particular game.
    Longtime Archery enthusiast, but new to this... 'applocation'... Of bow and arrow.
    Question.
    Could y'all explain the decoy?
    Y'all made it?
    Is it just an archery target, or do y'all bring it into the field as a physical attention lure for deer on your trail?
    Final Q.
    Could you explain the orange tape on the decoy?
    Why is it placed where it is, specifically.
    I have my best guesses. But, would love the rookie explanation.
    Thanks in advance.

    Before I shoot with bow or gun I always draw a pic in my mind where the arrow or bullit will exit.
