The Big Hunt

¨We don't hunt because we have to, we hunt because we want to, It's what we're born to do.¨ A lot of people say practicing to hard can be deleterious to yourself in the long run but in my book that is not true.

If you do not see movement after a few minutes, you should approach it carefully from behind the head of the deer. Never set your bow or firearm aside until after you have seen that it is dead. If the deer does not blink when you touch it using a stick, it should be yours to bag.
