I too looked at it as an opportunity to get on the woods early. I did it for a few years with no luck. Someone introduced me to duck hunting and I did that exclusively for 13yrs before I decided to go back to deer hunting. I bought a nicer bow. I love shooting it. I think the challenge itself is what draws me to bow hunting. I'm 38 and still haven't killed anything with a bow. I have 1 miss, and several blown opportunities but no blood on the ground yet. That keeps me going.
