There is no greater challenge in my opinion than bow hunting mature white tailed deer.
Bow hunting white tailed deer is very challenging.
I have hunted white tailed deer for 30 years now and nothing other than trying to hit a golf-ball straight is more challenging than consistently harvesting mature white tailed deer bow hunting.
A mature trophy buck can be very hard to outsmart.
There is just something special about using a primitive weapon matching wits with a trophy buck. It takes great attention to detail thorough scouting and countless hours on the stand, getting up at 4:00am when you easily could be tucked in a nice warm bed.

It takes getting the animal within a very close range which anyone who has gone bow hunting knows it isn’t as easy as it sounds. You have to use the wind to your favor because if they have an unbelievable sense of smell and if they smell you the game is over and they will be long gone. Then once the buck is in range you have to be able to draw your bow without being seen or heard. Sound easy? Well I promise you it’s not! I grew up chasing deer all over Georgia, with a bow and rifle. But once I experienced harvesting a big deer with my bow it is the only way I prefer to hunt now. The extreme rush of taking that animal at such a close range with a primitive weapon was something I wanted to experience more and the challenge of matching wits with such a smart beautiful creature was an challenge that I unless you have tried it you just can’t understand. It is not even all about the kill, it’s so many things, the harvest is just a part of it. Yeah it’s a big part of it but not the only part. Last year I let about 20 bucks walk right by that I could have gotten shots at, and a couple of them were nice but just seeing them and being out in the great outdoors breathing in that fresh air is very rewarding. I have successful seasons without ever taking a shot. If you get a chance to introduce archery to a child or friends, do it. Studies have shown that children that get involved in the great outdoors at an early age are less likely to get in trouble and harvesting a big trophy buck is far better than running the streets doing drugs or getting into trouble. Spending time shooting archery or chasing whitetails is a great way to spend time with your family and I promise it will bring your family closer and you will make memories that will last a lifetime. And once you experience being face to face with a trophy buck at close range with a bow in your hand you will have never felt a rush like that and you will crave those short moments of those close encounters for the rest of your life!

I agree bow hunting and hitting a golf ball straight. Both really hard to do . I enjoy both , and bow hunting at http://www.peartreegameranch.com is easier than golf most days.

The first order of business is to prepare the equipment you will need for scouting, or “glassing”. I would advise a good pair of binoculars in the 8 or 10 power ranges, as well as a spotting scope. The right technique for glassing is to first use the binoculars carefully, checking open spaces from a good vantage point early in the day. Then do another scan with your binoculars just to make sure you didn’t miss any obvious does and bucks.
