Good conversation!! I've always said you learn more from unsuccessful hunts than successful.

Good pep talk Jason. Well needed. We have only seen 3 deer in the last 5 years and only put one down. Lots of tracks, scat and rubs but its like they disappear during season. Frustrating for sure. Nate

This is another video with great advice. Please let me know if you ever find a cure for your buck fever! I've known several bowhunters who suffered from buck fever but none who entirely beat it. I've also known a small group of bowhunters who have what I call "killer instinct." These folks always seem to shoot more accurately at the game animals than the can of targets. I'm fortunate that I fall into this group. I find it challenging to describe precisely what makes the difference. My concentration level is far greater when shooting at an animal. When I draw on an animal, I 'know' that I will make the shot, even though I sometimes don't, and I am always surprised when I don't. I love your advice about staying at it, trying repeatedly until you succeed. I've always termed this "stupid persistence." Never give up, never surrender! It works.

@OldDerelict yep I think for people that don't have buck fever it's because in the heat of thr moment they end up focusing harder. Where as us with buck fever start to fall apart. Love the last paragraph. Very true!

Do you have a video of your top bows you like? also maybe you could do (If you don't have) a intro to hunting series, you take us out show was what you look for, finding trails, setting up just anything that is 101 hunting with a bow :D I grew up father figure-less so I had to learn hunting on my own, this might help others start or current hunters find out something they may not know.

Great ideas. for the hunitng how to I have a bunch of videos on here under the "deer hunting playlist". as for top bows, I never met a bow I didnt like. But I also am not the kinda guy that has different ones. I have been shooting the same northern mist classics for 10 years and shot my robertson long bows for 8 years before that. So I am more of a one bow kinda guy and stick with it for a long time.

Enjoy your day. Live it. Your success and a good day doesn’t necessarily need be defined by killing something. Let it come to you and soak up God’s blessing to you. Give your ego a break too. Stay humble, thankful, and it will happen.

I’ve had a couple of seasons where I didn’t see anything for weeks all on mountain public grounds as far as buck fever I suffer from it bad if I killed everyone I ever missed because of it I’d be in the bow hunter hall of fame 😂
