    I am new to Bow Hunting...actually hunting in general. Nothing against it, just wasn't raised around it. Bought a Hoyt Magnatec last year as my first bow. Have no idea what to do out in the woods. Just bought a 17' ladder stand, but have yet to put it up. Any words of encouragement or wisdom? Lost in the woods...:confused:

    Well something must of sparked your interest in the best sport in the world? Research it, learn deer behavior first and foremost. Set up in a good ambush spot without being detected downwind and start learning. A hunter is constantly learning through trial and error. In time you will find yourself a hunting machine if you study and learn these things. Good luck and welcome to the forum!!!

    I was in the exact same position 4 years ago. Sitting on my couch one night flipping through channels and stopped on a hunting show. Knowing absolutly nothing or anyone that participated I went to the store the next day and purchased my first bow. Watched every show possible and started reading magazine and website to learn all I could. Now I love it!!! Own my second bow already, several stands and more gear then I know what to do with! Congrats on your new passion! Good luck!
