well  i listened to my neighbors advice to wait till they walk past me. That was a big mistake, I saw a 5 ptr which should have been mine. I waited for him to move a few more steps but he busted me right before I could shoot. I think ill stand in my stand instead of sitting from now on. Too much movement involved to stand up. Feeling confident for tomorrow and the weekend though. Wish me luck!

Seems like it would be easier to practice shooting from a sitting position. ;)

  I set up all my sites to where the bucks going away. Just not for the quartering shot. But after the buck go's by his atentions at whats in front of him. This is the only true way of drawing with out haveing to worry about him seeing you. I set up the same way gobbler hunting. Unless they go behind something there's no way to draw on a broad side buck or gobbler with out him seeing you. I'VE TRYED OVER AND OVER.
     It's not that the indians had special powers or could shoot remarkally well. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THERE BOWS AND ARROWS AND HEADS. They kept it simple. They just set up like this and thet lived by the bow for 1000's of years. Ofcourse setting in a tree you have a much better chance of getting the shot off.
  Even when I tree stand hunted I still used this princeable. I've arrowed 36 bucks and humteen doe's and 15 gobblers with a selfbow. I'd have to look back in my journals but I say 90% were shot this way. REMEMBER IT YOU CAN SEE THEM COMEING THEY CAN SEE YOU.
   Learn to set up this way and you are sure to up your % or shots.

I had best experiences on hunting, both using rifle and bows and arrows. I can relate much on this topic because it is my favorite activity. deer hunting | sable hunting
