 "A Better Way to Phone!"
Vonage $24.99 a month and 1 month free 486x60
 "I use Vonage and recommend it.  The reception is not as good as with a wire line, but with much lower price and free long distance it is definitely  worth it."    Eino Rankainen

General Information

One of the advantages of bowhunting over hunting with a gun is that it gets you out in the woods during some of the prettiest times in the year, when the leaves are turning and the weather is still reasonably warm.  It is also the longest of the hunting seasons.  Bowhunting is much more challenging than rifle hunting because you have to get so much closer to game.  This is why for deer at least, bowhunting is usually done from an elevated platform.  The deer are much less likely to see you and your scent is more dissipated from the elevated stand.  This site focuses on the bow hunting of whitetail deer.  It contains information on archery basics as related to bowhunting, bow accessories, arrow choice, bow tuning, hunting equipment, and how to hunt with a bow.

Bowhunting is an increasingly popular sport.  With the advent of the compound bow and modern sights, a rank beginner can, with very little practice, shoot accurately enough to hunt.  On this site you will find all the information you need to get started in this sport.  In addition to articles related to bowhunting, we offer the opportunity to ask questions by email and get answers.  For questions, email us at:                     questions@bowhuntingbasics.com
