[QUOTE="wildcat westerner, post: 3008906, member: 21361"] Hello, I suppose some experienced bowhunter might bust a gut laughing after reading this . I have a chance to hunt a very good elk unit in New Mexico. I am handicapped now and can use a crossbow in this state. Its been over thirty years since I have bowhunted seriously and fully realize how incredibly many details that needed to be addressed in order to be successful, when using a bow. Since mobility is the issue, that means I shall be setting up a tree stand, and like Antelope hunting, that would mean being in the stand before dawn and not coming down till after sundown. I do have a ground blind but don't believe that would be successful due to the scent situation since the season is more than two weeks long. While you can move around in a ground blind, any movement in the air is bound to draw attention. I would appreciate it if experienced bowhunters who have been successful elk hunting from a stand would communicate with me. Perhaps some little detail you take for granted, I don't know about and I do not want to find out the "hard " way. Thanks, WW [/QUOTE]
