    Just curious what is something that you have learned from Bowhunting.com that has helped you in shooting/hunting ?
    I think that one of the big things I have learned from here is not to skimp on gear.

    I would say that biggest thing I've taken away from the site is knowing how many others share in the passion that I love as well.

    It's just nice to interact with people who are very like minded.

    1. Be mobile
    2. Have multiple sets hung.
    3. Do your stand hanging and prep work early
    4. Use Mock Scrapes
    5. Filming your own hunts is a lot of work and A LOT OF FUN!
    6. Peeing in scrapes works
    7. Sawyers Permethrin works REALLY WELL! Use it ALL THE TIME when ticks are crawling!!

    I've learned to never give up when the season is still on. You never know when there will be a buck waiting for an arrow from your bow. I've also learned a lot about tuning.

    I've learned the term Trophy doe, Lone Wolf is a really good stand, don't hunt with Brad he might tea bag you and to kill a big buck you have to hunt where they are at and be able to get the job done.

    I get t-bagged. I've never T-bagged someone. There is a difference. So you are safe around me.

    Nope don't watch the shows. A trophy doe sounds like a participation ribbon.

    I started bow hunting about 16-17 years ago. Not sure what year I joined the other site but a lot of guys here on bowhunting.com were on the other site. Thank goodness I could pick their brains as I learned a ton of information.

    Really can't list all of the things I've learned here... This site is pretty much what has guided me through the first 3 years that I have been bowhunting. Have not had any family/friends to guide me, so I resort to this forum for any and all questions I have.

    Same here, too many things to pinpoint just one. I've learned that an internet hunting forum can indeed be a good place to hang out and that it can be civil, lol.

    This explains your poor arrow penetration. :busted:
