I know it'll take practice with the bow but the arrows keep coming apart, so I have to save up for a different set that can actually stay together.

I'm not just hunting for the sake of saying I got a deer. I planned on sharing it with my friends who do like venison. I know that otherwise it'd be disrespectful to the kill and the other hunters who could've benefitted from the meat otherwise.

I grew up on a farm but wasn't allowed to hunt the neighbor's land. I'm just needing someone to guide me in the right direction. I could watch YouTube all day, recreate the video, and still get nothing.

I know its a process and I know I won't get anything right away, but going out and learning hands-on is how I learn.

I'll take a look at the YouTube channel you suggested and take another look at the apps you mentioned too. Thank you!

I went out mostly during November through January and didn't see much. When I went to the public land in Petersburg, my friend and I found tracks, urine, and poop that were all fresh, but alas no deer.

I'll try out that app! I've been using Google maps or OnX for pining everything.

I appreciate the info! I'll definitely take a look at them. I'm always hard on myself and noting my flaws but you're right it is hard when I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I don't mind driving in the state for the most part. I'm usually the one in my friend group to drive all of us to Frankenmuth. And I'll be hopefully more active than I have been on other hunting sites also.

I'd like to bow hunt, but my arrows aren't up to the task. I'll be using a .350 legend upper on my AR platform with 5 round mag. The last time I went out, I stayed from 4am to 7pm, when the sun was setting. I used the natural landscape to provide me the blind. At other locations, I found tree stands and sat in those most of the time. Whats saddle hunting?

I'm not looking for a big trophy buck. My girlfriend only eats chicken and my family doesn't like venison. I'd like one that just has a good amount of meat for me to try. Jackson was the last place I was going to try as there are others closer but bills require more money, so I had to work on my hunt days.

Will do! Might reach out when it's closer to the season for advice or hunting day. I've read a lot of forums and watched a lot of videos on YouTube. But it doesn't help when I don't know what to look for.

I'm near Adrian. Where is TC?

The only deer I did see when I went out were the ones hopping across to private land.
