Hi all, I’m switching this year from rifle hunting for deer to bow hunting. I have a pretty good compound bow and am pretty good with it in a variety of positions and stances. I have a tree stand set up on 25 acres of woods surrounded by corn. It seems to be a pretty popular bedding ground. I am a fairly accomplished rifle hunter. Assuming I have all the fundamentals of hunting down (being quiet in the woods, minimizing scent, correct positioning etc) what should I considerations should I make for bow hunting that I might have never thought of rifle hunting. As of right now I’m not using any calls mainly because I hear it’s far easier to break a hunt than make a hunt with them if you don’t know what you’re doing. I also don’t care about shooting a buck this year. What do I need to do in order to successfully transition from rifle to bow hunting?
