    Hi New to bow hunting.

    Hi everyone.

    I live in Cambridge.
    I am keen for some deer and goat hunting around waikato area.
    I use 65 pound bow. And I have only been shooting at rabbits with this
    Please tell me some tips and bush craft skills!!
    I will be always keen if anyone would take me out for hunting!

    Thanks

    Because your arrow will be travelling at below the speed of sound, the bloody animal will hear it coming...so you have to be real sneaky.
    Which is worse, ignorance or apathy...I don't know and don't care.

    Hi GNAR,
    Great to hear you are into bow hunting. if I can make a small suggestion, a good progression from small game would be into goats before trying your luck with deer.
    Goats are a lot easier to get onto to and a lot more available in our area - try Raglan as a good starting point.
