I'm mainly starting this because bow hunting forums are way to low. So lets kick it up a notch..
how about this to keep the topic rolling.....my nephew is turning 18 soon and has lost some of his interest in archery and hunting in general. I did get him out a few times this past season, but not enough. I've talked to him about this coming season and his normal response is "if I have time". So how do you keep them interested ????

I mean if the kid doesn't wanna hunt anymore I can understand. There was a time when i didn't feal like hunting when i was younger, but i grew out of it. Soon he will realize what he really wants to do!
Just some ideas. Between school, sports, friends and girls it can be hard for a man his age to find time for the essentials.

fishermanben, do you fish? just kidding [;)] Been there and done that. All he bow hunts is deer, we're in Ohio. I've tried evenings, gave him my old and bought him new clothes, asked him when and where he wants to go. I did talk to him the other weekend about going turkey hunting with me and he thought that may be neat to try so I'll keep my fingers crossed.
thanks!

I always hunt from the ground unless I'm Bow hunting. It's a lot more comfortable. Instead of using a purchased blind, I just use a couple of tree branches and a pile of leaves. Forrest dirt is the best cover-scent anyway. Take a couple of handfuls and rub it on your clothes.
You ain't dealing with a rooky here fishermanben. [;)] I once laid in a briar bush from 5:30AM until 2:15PM when a 8 pointer came by on his rub line. I'd watched him from my stand for a week never getting close enough, but he always went by the briar bush. It really sucked though because it was early bow season and I had ants all over me from laying there.....He ended up being 14 or 15 inches inside and I put him on the wall since I went through all that trouble. [:)]
Thanks!

Nice One!!! I've never shot one from the ground before with my bow, although I've tried. You earned that Buck. Would you do it again??
It would have to be bigger if I did it again, but yes. My fiancee gets PO'd with my hunting extremes a lot. This past Christmas I hunted in the morning before we went to her parents house at 10am. I seen a decent buck the night before from my stand so I HAD to go back...[:)] She was mainly mad because I was gone when she woke up..Oh well she knew I hunted before she moved in .
