I'm a rifle hunter and rifle shooting enthusiast thinking of picking up bow hunting (mule deer, elk) for a few reasons. Can y'all give me some tips for getting into it from a rifle hunting perspective?
My wife is uninterested in rifle hunting much besides lease WT for meat anymore and has only expressed interest in hitting the mountains for muleys and elk with pointy sticks. Additionally, many of my dedicated back country hunting friends down here in TX only/mostly bow hunt in the West. I would also appreciate more flexibility in when I can hit the mountains, doing so with a bow would help that significantly. I used to shoot trad bows for fun when I was a kid, but would prefer to go compound for hunting as I'm primarily a meat hunter and anything that increases my capabilities is preferable. Unfortunately, the only things I know about the pursuit is that people debate bow brands like Ford/Chevy/Dodge trucks... Let's not do that here
Any tips for getting started are greatly appreciated!
