Tim, will do. Thank you.

I understand. Although the ground blind keeps you out of the elements, to a degree, it does hamper your visibility and may also make the deer a little leery about coming into bow range. I think between you and Tim, I have the basic understanding of hunting and like Tim said, I need to get out there and do it. We have a few WMA's that I could start off at. Thanks for all the good gouge gents.

Copy. I definitely understand that. As before, this all makes sense and seems to me that it's pretty much based on what Mother Nature gives you to work with. You must make the best of what you have to work with in order to be successful.

Fly, thanks for all the great information and advice. So, you think that a tree stand is better than a ground blind and the reason is because of scent and being in the eye sight of the deer. I'm not against a tree stand at all but would like to purchase the gear that is going to bring the deer into bow range. We were going by our new house last night and a 4-point buck came walking across the road as if he owned it. I know they are here just need them to come out during daylight.

Sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I was born and raised in Illinois. At 18 I joined the Marine Corps and have been in the Corps ever since. I currently reside in SC.

Steve, I appreciate the offer. I think I should try and take down a white tail before attempting to take down a big ole mule deer, elk or antelope. If I ever go on vacation or take a hunting trip out west, I will get in touch with you. Thanks again for reaching out.

Tim, that all makes sense. Thanks again for the great information.

Ok, the draw weight on my bow is too heavy... How do I adjust it to make it lighter? We had a hunting outfitter in our town but it closed recently.

Another question, how do you know how high to place your tree stand or how high your blind should be?

Tim, that does help. Thank you for the information.

Can you tell me how you tell the age of a deer just by looking at it? What is it that you are looking at or looking for to decipher the age of the deer?

Thank you. Honestly, I need to learn everything from A - Z about the basics of hunting, field dressing a deer, hanging a tree stand, etc. You name it, I need to learn about it.

Tim, Thank you. I appreciate any assistance that I can get. I hope you and all the Real Tree staff have a merry Christmas.
