I have struggled mightily in Arizona with the bow. In Michigan I killed 7 bucks and 15 does, a black bear and went on a ranch hunt and killed a ram in California. Here I haven't shot anything in 7 years although 3 years ago I quit and sold all my stuff to my hunting partner. I am archery addicted so after one year off I bought another bow just before january last year and this year I am ramped up to go. It costs too much in dollars to start over and too much in lost experience to quit. Trust me. But I'll keep going and I hope you will too because there is nothing in the world like killing free range game with a bow.

Awesome! Way to stick with it. Gives me some motivation.

Awesome weekend! And a unique buck at that!

The 4 bucks we saw in 36b this past weekend looked the same. The rain seems to be coming on and hopefully what the rain brings will be big antlers!

Awesome pics! Big looking ears without much space between them equals small bear.

Awesome advice here. One thing I would add after many years of shooting eastern whitetails from trees is to practice from a stand. Don't know how high you were but you always need to remember the whole bend at the waist thing; drop your bow arm and a chip shot gets tougher in a hurry.
