If you want to see how good you are. Try it without a blind and a flock of decoys.  They will humble you real fast.
Ya no doubt,I have done my share of spot n stalk,or spot n hide behind a tree with no dekes at all.I have killed with the bow that way but getting drawn on them is the key,no doubt.....their eyes are amazing.I very rarely use a deke when I shotgun hunt them and prefer it.

I have some excellent property to hunt,all private land.Some of it my own and then some that is owned by close friends that do not hunt but are organic farmers and some other land we have hunted for over 30 years.

Best of luck to you. Hope I will be able to bowhunt anything this year, shoulder surgery means I have to go with much lower poundage, hoping to get a $500 bow if I can swing it so I can deer hunt anyway. The days of 70 lbs. are over for me.

Getting closer for me, we got over 20" of snow and it has been cold but I will be in South FL in less than 6 weeks with my recurve looking for an Osceola. Have been practicing inside, can get about 7-8 yds which is perfect distance for a tom. Will likely use my 45# Howatt Mamba which is 58" AMO, but have been shooting some lately with a 1962 Bear Kodiak Mag. It's 44#, only 52" and uses a different arrow; gets me closer to the ground and shoots just as good... so we will see. Both tune using 150 grain points and I have plenty of the 150 grain Snuffers that have worked great in the past.
