Hardest part?

I am going to be new to bow hunting this year. I am going to start out just chasing deer. May be a fall turkey if one gives me a good shot by chance. But I was wondering, maybe you guys would start helping me in my bow hunting "career? Loll" and tell me some things you think is the hardest part of bow hunting the elusive whitetail deer. I m not going to lie. The main reason i want to bow hunt is to start getting some racks on the wall. Rifle season around here is TOUGH hunting. Vie only got 2 6pts to my name and 8 does. I’m not opposed to taking a doe, and will gladly take does just to get the feel of bow hunting and get some of that delicious meat for the freezer. Rifle hunting kind of lost its spark for me as well. Last year I headshot a doe at 50yds through the woods without hesitation or thinking about it. It was exciting, but not like it used to be. Sure a buck would get me real fired up, but it was my 10th deer, my 8th doe. Nothing to throw a party over. Got the blood pumping but I m looking to keep my excitement going. Another reason for me to start bow hunting. I love the ups and downs of hunting. Frustrations, excitements, disappointments successes etc. But i thought maybe you guys could start helping me before i start by telling me some of the things you guys think are the most challenging parts of bow hunting.

For the record, I know it’s a whole new ballgame and I don’t expect to bag a wall hanger any time soon. Ill be trying, but if I don’t succeed I know till take some time. It’ll be hard because of all the bucks if seen in the past in bow season while I was small game or fall turkey hunting all in bow range. I like working hard for success. I like to go the extra mile even when it means walking long and far sitting in nasty weather early in the morning days on end for nothing to show for a while. To me that makes success so much sweeter. So what do you guys think are the hard parts of bow hunting?? 2 come to mind. Getting within bow range of the game, and making a clean killing shot.

Thanks
