If you want to bring home the bacon, here are the 10 things you can do to be a great bow hunter in no time.

1. Practice, practice, practice.
2. Scout prior to the hunting season and scout often
3. Place your treestand in the right spot.
4. Determine your Effective Kill Range or EKR.
5. Ask advice from those who knows a lot about bow hunting
6. Always consider the direction of the wind.
7. Do not ever try to over hunt.
8. Make sure that you hunt hard, but hunt during the late hours of the day.
9. Prior to hunting, make at least a couple of shots. Do this a night before you hunt and few hours before heading to the field.
10. Learn more about the prey.

Even if you are very accurate in shooting the bear or dear with a bow, your prey can still get away from you wounded. If not, it would take you several hours just to track and find the prey that you just hit (even if you targeted the most vital organ in its body).

Probably you have overlooked the sharpness of your broad head. If your broad head is sharp, it will almost instantly kill the deer or the bear, leaving you less time tracking and more time hunting.

A sharp broad head can be the most lethal weapon that you can have when bow hunting. See to it that you test the sharpness of your blade first before heading to the hunting site.
