    Well this Sunday morning could very well be my first bow hunting. After buying my first bow in July, and shooting thousands of arrows, I am finally ready.

    A friend of mine took me to one of his spots, showed me how to hang a stand back in August, and this Sunday I think I am finally ready to climb up there and get the bowhunting experience.

    I am prepared to take a deer if it is the right one in my mind, but then again if I dont see a single deer, it will still be great to get out. Wish me luck, and any last minute tips or advice is always appreciated

    Sit still...and listen hard...there's a lot more going on outdoors than many realize.

    ENJOY!

    Pay attention deer can sneek by you without you having a clue. Also Stay calm and don't rush the shot.Other then that have fun and enjoy
