This course is designed to help you get into hunting and know the basics of everything you will need. This is not designed to teach you absolutely everything. No one can learn everything. The focus is on hunting deer since that’s the most popular and what I have the most experience with.
I hope to help you feel confident enough to go out and try hunting. I’ve found it to be a wonderful aspect of my life physically, mentally, and emotionally. Not to get all spiritual on you or anything, but it does help people in a lot of different ways because even though this is enough information to get you started, hunting is a skill that will take a long time to master and has many different aspects.
Knowledge becomes power only when you spend the time to learn and apply it. Read all of these sections to get you enough knowledge to get started and then go apply it.
Don’t forget to be safe. The number 1 thing in bow hunting basics is to be safe and have fun.
You can do it!
