This passion is about what ?

The passion is about bowhunting 

This passion is an affective state manifested by an exclusive and durable attachment to an activity. The passion sometimes dominates the personality of the bowhunter and often determines his behavior. One can easily see that state of mind in a deer bowhunter.

Scouting is a must

The need for camo clothes

Camo for the hunter


Camouflage clothes is a must if you are a bowhunter. Camouflage breaks your human silhouette by harmonizing it with the surrounding plants. Note that if you move even with camo clothes, deer will detect you easily.

Deer dealing with fences

In our spring scoutings, we as bowhunters have often seen deer tracks such as these. Deer can go through fences if they can find a way.

 

The little things that we forget

Ha ! These little things 


This article will remind you about these little things that can ruin a hunt. Things that we do not think about very often, but of great importance. 


Quite often the result of a deer hunt can be summarized in one word: patience. Since I started bowhunting, the hardest thing to learn was to wait for the best time to shoot. I can not count how many times I had to wait, quietly and without moving,  for the deer to walk these last steps before I could have a direct view to its vital organs.

I still remember each of these opportunities as the most exciting moments of all my hunts. I also remember those moments of inattention that I scared the deer away.


Pay attention to little things


I have seen several deer disappear from my view because they felt that something was wrong in their immediate environment. 


A few years ago I was hunting near a railroad. At some point I had 4 deer in front of me, with 2 of them being 8 pointers. Then suddently the train started to move backwards and the back of the train moved to about 100 meters(100 yards) from me. By slowing down the train emitted a loud noise that scared the deer away. 

A year later a doe and its 2 fawns were coming closer to me, when the doe stopped suddenly. Then she found something close to a tree and she took off quickly followed by her fawns. 

I came down from my treestand hours later, to try to find out what had driven them away. Surprise! There was a hunting glove on the ground. A glove that I lost some 3 months ago during a survey of my territory.


It is these little things that can ruin a deer hunt.

Beware of odors

On the treestand

The smell of your body is easily transmitted through your hands on the steps of your ladder when you climb on your treestand. In deer bowhunting this harmless gesture is of the utmost importance.

I am a ''hunter'' !

The need to hunt  

Hunting is my way to simply exist, my way of life, my way of saying who I am. I am a hunter !


The need to hunt is buried deep inside. The joy of hunting is huge and irresistible. When I hunt, I feel alive, I feel I am a part of the earth, I am a part of nature, I am a part of life itself.

Hunting is a part of who I am.
