I take my bow out with me almost every time I'm out in the woods during the off season for some stump shooting fun. Invest in a good pair of binocs and some decent topo maps and spend as much time as you can scouting, learning and mapping out the areas you are interested in hunting. Most of all, take your time. Brush up on your woodsmanship and the rest will come with time.

Good advice

I would pick an area and get out every weekend before season scouting.

Plus lots of practice. Buy some judo heads and take bow out and stump shoot while scouting
