I joined the forum a few months ago and kind of forgot about it. I joined to get some info on shooting waterfowl with arrows. I am from oregon and I duck hunt. I deer hunt if I have time. I will not elk hunt because it overlaps duck season. deer hunting to me is not very much fun and it is actually how I started with a bow. My friends tried to get me to go deer hunting but I went upland hunting instead because I told them that deer hunting was easy. the next season we placed some bets on who could get a deer first, I went ahead and joined in the pool. They all shoot rifles and expected me to do the same. I bought a darton bow and shot a deer before rifle season opened up. they call it cheap, I call it a win.....lol
