You haven't stated where you are or intend to go bow hunting, so, hard to help you.\n    My suggestion is to find a quality archery shop and "pick their brains", also contact your local or state fish & wildlife dept, ask for current rules & regulations for bow hunting, seasons are different everywhere and where to hunt etc, varies greatly YOU MUST LEARN about these, or fines will astonish you (jail time too!)  DON'T listen to just anyone, get your info from correct sources.  Bet if you type "bow hunting" in a search engine you're going to be amazed!

i was asking the same question when i noticed your on the similar questions, maybe the question should be  "how do we suggest or request a catagory to be started?"  i am an avid gun collector and love shooting and hunting. as for the answer that shooting or hunting is just sitting around, this person has obviously never been involved in any competition shoots or has never been hunting either.

Late hunt modern firearm hunt in both eastern and western WA ends November 19 (two days from now). That I know of it's not to late to buy a tag but the hunts ends very soon. Archery I do believe starts the 20th here (eastern WA) but I don't remember what day it ends. Muzzle loader dates I can't remember off memory. If I knew what Game Management Unit you would be hunting in I could tell you more definitely what time you have left and what you are allowed to hunt (buck, doe, etc.).

If you try to shoot anything bigger than a bird or squirrel with that toy, your just going to scare the hell out of it.  \n\nMy suggestion is that you get a real rifle (that is if your old enough to buy one), and learn how to use it.  Then you need to get a hunting liscense that covers whatever it is you want to hunt ie turkey, deer etc.  \n\nIf you want a challenge, kill wild hogs.  They are infesting every continent except for Antarctica.  They are big, smart, very dangerous, and yummy.

http://www.boytharness.com/duckguns.htm\n\n\n\nLocation\n Location is the single most important aspect of hunting waterfowl. \n In order to kill any number of ducks consistently you need a good spot. Even the best duck hunter will not kill many ducks in a bad spot. \n To find a good spot you can either scout on your own or ask around but usually a combination of the two works best. So go find a good place to hunt and kill some ducks. \n\nEquipment\nOnce you've found a good place to set up you're only about 3/4 of the way out of the woods. You still need to have the right stuff to get the fowl in nice and tight. Plus having all the trinkets and equipment of waterfowling is a good portion of the fun, and a great conversation piece in the blind.\n\nThere are several areas of equipment that are necessary to every waterfowl hunter: Guns, Shells, Decoys, Calls, some way to move around in the water, and some form of concealment.\n\nGuns:\n\n There is a lot of variety when it comes to duck guns. Basically it comes down to personal preference. \n If you’re in the market for a new gun look around and ask people about their favorite duck gun. Then figure out what you want in terms of action, choke, etc. \n Go to a store or gun show and try out the various makes and models of guns to see what fits you best and which is the most comfortable. \n There is one thing you don't need to worry about trying to decide on and that is what gauge of shotgun to buy, that's a given, a twelve gauge is the only affective gun to hunts ducks with using steel shot. A ten gauge will do the job too but they are too bulky. \n\nShells:\n\n In order to hunt ducks and geese legally you need to use non-toxic shot. There are three types of non-toxic shot available today steel, Bismuth, and Tungsten. \n Steel has been around the longest but it is the worst performing. \n There are a few tricks needed to kill waterfowl with steel shot. The two main things you need to know are to use big shot and buy fast shells. \n Bismuth and Tungsten work very well (along the same lines as lead) but they are awfully expensive. One advantage of Bismuth is that you can shoot it through old guns that are not made to handle steel or tungsten. \n\nDecoys:\n\n There is an infinite variety of decoys available. They are made out of variety of materials: Cedar, Cork, Foam, and Plastic. \n Cedar and Cork look beautiful and ride the water just like a real duck, however these are all handcrafted and fetch exuberant prices that the average hunter can not afford. \n Foam and plastic will also draw ducks. Foam is better because it is solid and can absorb being shot, rides the water better, and are more easily repainted. Foam decoys are still fairly expensive. \n Plastic decoys are cheap and still very realistic looking. Try mallard decoys that are all magnum size - these are slightly larger than life size so they have additional drawing power, but they are still close enough that ducks will swim into them on a regular basis. \n\nCalls:\n\n The sound of a good call is one of my favorite parts of duck hunting. \n Every call sounds different depending on who blows it. So to find the right call for you, you probably need to try out a few, plus some days ducks will respond better too than others, so it is good to have a spare. \n \n \n \n\nReturn to top of page\n\n \n\nWaterfowl Hunting Tips:\n \n Use the sun, wind, and other natural features of the landscape to your benefit when setting up. Set up in short timber and shallow water whenever possible. Short timber because the ducks will come in lower and shallow water because that's where they want to feed. \n Take time to not only practice your calling but to learn how ducks actually use different sounds. Then go back and practice. \n Use effective camouflage that matches the terrain you hunt. We have many hunts where the ducks simply don't want to work to the decoys around the blind, so we get out of the blind and are able to

Google Bob Ragsdale. Bob has a website just for archery hunting. If you don't find your answer there send an e-mail. Also, to help find the source of the noise have a friend stand near the bow when you shoot to see if he/she can determine the location. I did this for a friend and found his arrows were in the quiver too far and the tips were rubbing the plastic. I know what a pain it is to have a loud bow. By the way. A deer will drop a little even with quiet bows because their hearing is so acute. So aim a fuzz lower than you would on your target. Also try Deerhunting.net and go to the Q&A. Great resources.

Well,I've seen everything used for backstops.You can get some rail road ties,make a three sided box and fill with sand.That's probably your best bet if you've got the room,simply for the other uses it provides (air guns,pitching practice,whatever).If that's not feasible,a favorite of mine is old carpets hung behind the targets.One is usually not enough,as the arrows zip through,conveniently removing your fletchings,especially if you've got one of the new single cam bows and it shoots pretty hot.Me shooting my recurve,I'd go with two,folded over a line.For a modern bow,maybe six.You could get some 2x4's from Lowe's or Home depot on make a free standing rail to drape them over.\n\nAs far as targets go,if you're training for an up coming hunt,go with a McKenzie or Morrell 3-d deer target.If you just want a target,go with a Block layer foam target.I have a lot of experience shooting with bows(shooting recurves and compounds since I was 10.I'm 26 now).From my experience,the more you spend on a target,the longer it will last.\n\nYou can also make a portable target with two pieces of 2x6,some threaded rod,and lots of cardboard.Drill two holes,one on each end of the 2x6,and use the threaded rod to clamp the layered card board with the 2x6's.

Archery hunting for deer in 2005/2006 was 9/15/05 - 1/31/06.  I could not find anything on the web for this year's season.  However, you can call the Maryland Department of Natural Resources to find out. Here is the number: 1-800-918-2870

I'd suggest having a word with a competent experienced archer at your club, as they're must likely to know what's best for you.\n\nA few things are:\n\nDon't get a bow that's too heavy, as you'll possibly do yourself damage and/or get yourself into bad habits due to struggling with the weight.  Much better to start off lighter, and get a new set of limbs when you feel you need them.\n\nUnless you're an uber-novice, there's no point shelling out extra money to get the latest, biggest, shineyest kit; start with something more appropriate to your ability\n\nGet arrows longer than you currently need; your draw length will increase.\n\nTry as many bows as you can, to get a better feel of what you like/don't like in a bow.

I hunt all over in Virginia so I'm an expert.  First bit of advice is to learn to hunt for the spacebar when you are finished with a word just before you start another word.  You can hunt wherever you would like.  I enjoy hunting from the vehicle as you can hunt both in the country AND in the city.  You can sit in a tree and freeze to wait for a deer or drive around and pick one out.

My family are avid hunters.  We live in a small area near the mountains.  We hunt deer and elk most generally....also antelope.  I would love to have a moose and a buffalo on my wall.  Someday I'll have a full body lion, a bear skin rug...but the moose and buffalo are pretty much once in a life time hunts and it's hard to get the tags.  We also have a line of dogs to hunt bear and lions (cougars).\n\nOthers hunt duck and geese, chuckers, doves, quail, pheasants, mountain goats and sheep, caribou in canada and alaska, you name it.\n\nWe kill mostly for food, though.  Deer and elk are pretty good, and buffalo is the best jerky I've ever had!

Call the local ranges in your area and find one that rents guns. Shoot a few until you find one you like, talk to the guys there about what you'll be using it for and how often you'll shoot. They will give you a good idea as to what you should buy. Make sure you get an appropriate caliber for your purposes, shooting .357 ammo gets expensive quick but you can shoot 9mm ammo all day.
