Yes I have a friend I work with that has been unting for about 25 years , I just have never asked about the scrapes. As for novice questins I am novice ! I was into paintball for about 5 years so I can hunt , I have all the right gear but just still have a few questions here & there Ill try it for a season if I dont like it Ill just sell my stuff no big deal . So far its ok kind of boring but ok ill feel much better when I myself get to see one up close , we know their there we just have to be patient & wait them out.

Thanks for the info I have books im reading & there helping out so Ill keep reading & hunting at the same time .

we off tomorrow morning again to give it another shot.

Happy hunting

Josh
