bow hunting help

im new to bow hunting deer, can you help me?

i love to hunt. i bow hunt small game all the time. i love to go bird hunting but this year i want to try something different like deer hunting. i live in north carolina and there are alot of deer where i live and they eat my garden where i grow alot of my food. i dont know much about bow hunting deer so here are my questions. where is the best place to shoot the deer? am i aloud to put deer corn around my blind? when is the best time to be in my blind in the morning or at night? how much does it normally cost to skin the deer and get it processed? how much does it cost to get the head taxidermy’d. as you can tell i dont know much about bow hunting deer so i need any info that could be usefull. is there anything else i should know before going deer hunting with a bow?

1. If your looking at what point to shoot the deer, the best place is on the broadside of the deer, and just behind the front leg where its heart is. If your looking for positioning of where the deer are, I would setup 10 yards into the woods, and face outward to an open field.

2. You can put any kind of bait you feel necessary until 1 week before the season opens (PA State Regulation, so it might vary depending on where you are) although i recommend apples to get the deer in close.

3. I go out at just before light, where you can see around you well enough to take a shot, but its still sorta dark out, because ive walked up on deer when it was dark, and they get up and run away, and that will ruin a day of hunting in that small region.

4. I do all processing myself, so does everyone else I know. But I know a guy who owns a processing place and they generally charge $100-$250 depending on if you want the whole deer, or just parts of it (IE: Tenderloin, Backstraps, ect..)

5. A taxedermy mount costs upward of $200, depending on the size of the deer. I have an 8 point that costs $350, but I also have a turkey mount that I did myself, and it only cost $20 for the base of it.

And heres a tip. Get a nice compound bow, and dont listen to what people say about new bows and what not. My cousin sold his truck for a bow, and thats just too much, I got my compound bow for free, and it shoots nicely compared to alot of the new smaller compounds. As for arrows, buy some graphite arrows with the inserts already in them, then go out and buy some Muzzy 250′s that are 1 3/16″ Cutters, and some bandaids. Get field tips to sight your bow in with, dont use broadheads to sight your bow in with. I recommended that specific type of muzzy broadheads because it will fly just like your field tips.

Any more questions, feel free to PM me.
