Nope this will be my first time killing and eating an animal on land. I grew up deep sea fishing never hunted. I'm going bird hunting next month to get my feet wet.

John Galt, if you really change your compound with your made self bow, expect some changes in your hunt. Never hunted with bow, obviously, but I talked a lot with self bow archers and they all really like the change. Apparently you must get closer, arrows need to be selected differently (as you probably know), you cannot hold full draw like with compound because the bow will develop compression marks, etc. etc.
The biggest problem is that you can't leave your bow strung for hours at a time with a self made bow, assuming it's not some elaborate laminated recurve.
Arrows must be weighted, sure, but this is easily done outside of the field.
I don't know what the "closer" has to do with anything unless they're sitting in a tree stand.
The Natives didn't mess around with much beyond a 40 or 50 lb draw because they learned how to stalk.

talk about coincidence. Found out tonight that one of my good friends' girlfriend is a long time archer/bow hunter. It's a sort of family trade between her and her parents and siblings. She's going to show me the ropes.

This is a pic of an Amberjack of about 50lbs I speared while freediving the pacific coast of Colombia near Bahia Solano

I'm here seething with jealousy. I've been going hunting for several years now, but I'm yet to see anything bigger than a squirrel while in a stand.
This year I geared up for a bow hunt, since the season is longer and hopefully I'll identify my mistakes.
All you hunting gurus--do you have any tips? How do you keep still for so many hours?
I am afraid that women appreciate cruelty, downright cruelty, more than anything else. They have wonderfully primitive instincts. We have emancipated them, but they remain slaves looking for their masters all the same. They love being dominated.

I do most of my hunting spot and stalk out west, but I also hunt whitetails from stands. i bring a book that requires deep thaught. I like to read philosophy in the tree stand . This year Ive got Seneca in my pack. Turn the pages slowly and between each page look around.
Lacking the concentration for this is why most of my shooting is vermin using thermal and night vision equipment from the comfort of a heated truck cab with a flask of coffee...

I'm going lobster hunting right now. I want 40 by my labor day party.
Four tools: big ass spotlight, long rod with fork end that's technically for locksmiths to open cars, heavy duty mesh bag, really good mask.
Its half moon and cloudy, but warm.
I spread a bunch of bacon bits out in my lucky spot earlier today. Then you get mason jars and put some crisco in them, about an ice cream scoop. Bury them lid side down near rocks. Let the lobsters dig in there.
Aloha!

How can you just go to the country and hunt? Aren't there some permits, needing to be member of hunting clubs or such? You are just a tourist.

Didn't know that exists, very interesting. And the fact that Hungary will recognize it is even more astonishing.

There was a huge affair couple of years ago when our prominent politician was discovered to have in his basement animals from Africa. He payed thousands of dollars to hunt in Africa, while he was proponent of "saving money" in public life. He shot elephant, crocodile, two lions and hippos, at least so we have been told. There are of course untold numbers of smaller animals, but still... wow.

DO you hunt private or Public land? What part of country? FOr Whitetails best time to be in the woods is first 3 weeks of November. Focus on terrain funnelsto catch roaming bucks looking for tail. Have multiple stand locations to hunt various wind directions. Scent control and management is most important on whitetails.
Northern Virginia. I joined a private hunting club last year, and I have access to military bases.
