Bow Hunting Whitetails at The Proving Grounds: Dr. Woods and Adam climbed into a Redneck Hunting Blind with a giant white oak raining acorns right outside the front window.

If you’re new to bowhunting, remember a bow hunter’s range is much shorter than a firearms hunter. So as a result, you must be especially skilled in knowing deer patterns and tendencies; then set your stand or blind accordingly. Most deer are taken within 30 yards.
Bow hunting is a close game. You peer through the nearby maze of tree limbs and leaves and down into the brush below a tree stand, looking for a deer on a nearby trail, possibly pausing to feed on acorns, apples or other foods. Often times you can't see very far around you because of the dense early-fall vegetation.
