is it that hard to learn a compound bow?
Depends. Do you just want to take a shot at a deer, or actually hit it (or kill it for that matter)?

I don't plan on taking a hard shot. I also don't have a tree stand.
lol, I want to kill the deer, I can practice in my backyard and range.
I live in MA i don't think I can bring a gun back from outside the state. Anyone know where i can find Blackpowder rifles or a bow in ma now?
What about black powder just as hard to learn?

Isn't Dartmouth in VT?"girl with a dartmouth shirt on, but wtf is a quadfecta?) "
A quadfecta is nothing, because you already had NH from the retired NH cop!
Happy shootin'
anyone going out tomorrow? also anyone ever go late in the day?
Was in HP today and saw some exciting stuff, however... I HEARD a ton of fighting some doe bleating and a couple grunts. Figured I wouldn't be hearing that this late. I'll be out Weds. In a new spot, hunkered down between piles of droppings! Hah!
A little rant though, are these joggers effing daffy? I saw several wearing brown and white jackets, or all black. No hi-vis colors at all. Come the eff on!
It is late for that. Some bucks are dropping already. It could have been another hunter.

Bow season ends dec 31 how is it to late?
You are going to get proficient enough with a bow between now and then to actually hunt with it?

Not hard to learn, but takes quite awhile to master.
You need lots and lots and lots of practice at various distances and heights.

Good. Do that until next season and you should be good to go.
I was thinking the same things. I keep going back and forth on buying a bow. Usually, I really start thinking around October or so, and by then I figure it is too late. I would want to be out there all Spring, Summer, and Fall getting ready. I would not want to wound or cripple an animal; plus I would want something to put in the freezer. I would never take a shot if I didn't think I would hit exactly where I needed to.
That said, next week might be a good time to pick up a used bow. Dibs.
Could be, but I just found two new rubs, don't feel fake either. New since my last walk about through there, which was Sunday.
It's really just about being smart. As difficult as it may be, don't take shots you aren't comfortable with.
With someone to help you, it won't take long to consistently make close shots. The more you practice, the larger your comfort zone.
One thing I can't stress enough: if you hunt from a stand, practice from a stand.
