well, alot of good ideas. thanks alot. season is over for me and end results are : had five tags. 1 any deer bow tag ( 10 pointer ) (didn't find till 2 weeks later ) 1 bow antlerless ( sho a spike ) 1 november antlerless ( didn't fill ) 1 shotgun any deer ( nice 6 pointer ) and 1 late muzzle loader (didn't fill ). we have a small group (4) that get together for 2nd shotgun season and do a deer drive. 2 of these guys is my son-in-law and grandson. this was great. both of them got a 13 pointer and i got my 6 pointer on the last day.

If you have the crossbow permit then think about buying a crossbow maby a barnett quad 400.

I had this problem the first year I started bow hunting. The next year I just didn't think I could take anymore failure so I really and truely started a little routine of seeing the deer..........but instead of thinking of how I was going to have it mounted or how many people I was going to call.........I started picking my shooting lanes.........started anticipating where the shot was going to come.........quit looking at the antlers and started focussing on the shot placement and distance..........and right before it all came together on a lot of deer, I would look up real quick and say to myself a few choice words like " Don't @#$%! this up again , calm your dumb@!# down and make a good shot or your going to be calling people about the one that got away (again)" !!
 
Worked wonders for me !!

Take some trips to the woods with a camera instead of a bow or gun. When taking pictures you need to be steady. This will help a lot to train yourself, and learn control over your excitement. It will also give you some nice trophy pics to post on the OT.
Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.
