Default going out for my first time ever tomorrow

For a solid two months now I've been practicing my calls, polishing my shooting, gatheringa full suitofcamo, etc.

I finally got a weekend off from work with no big projects for school so I got to come back home and I'm going out in the morning.

I'm kinda nervous but also so excited I could pee myself a little haha.

Relax .... I can understand your excitement but you don't want to shaking so bad you won't be able to pull the tigger or draw you bow back.
I wish good luck and be safe out there , don't forget your camera and take plently of pictures , we love to see pictures.

Just wanted to say "Good Luck and Safe Hunting!!!!" Remember, even if you don't score a bird, you still were blessed with the ability to go out and enjoy the journey!

well I came home empty handed but it's ok, I actually had a lot of fun just being out there by myself, having time to slow down and breathe and think, etc.

I had to cut the hunt short, too. Stupid band I'm in playin shows...

i do have a question though. i was mostly trying to use cuts on a box call for a locater but i also have a crow call. how exactly do i use that? i am under the impression that you just basically make a racket and listen, is that right?

I know you heard crows before , try to mimick the sound they make.
Blow into your call three times like this ( CAW .... CAW CAW ) do that every five or ten minutes or if you them gobble back.
Once you heard them gobble , try to locate where the sound came from then go from there.
The crow call is a good locater call during the evening hours when your trying to find out where there roosting.
Good luck ... hope you get onethe next time you go out.

An owl call is great for the mornings, too, before they get off the roost.
