RE: Can anyone give some advice to a new hunter?
FAIR CHASE is the only way to hunt. Also, I would avoid all of those hunting videos and shows on the outdoor channel. They are fun to watch, but realize that this is a final product of editing, and unfortunately, sometimes in ranches that are not fair chase. I made the mistake of buying the 'monster buck' videos when I first started hunting and found myself disappointed in the field when deer either didn't come in within 10 minutes of me sitting, or when the deer were not hugebucks. Luckily, I realized early on that a succesful hunt is not about who got the big one, but rather, the time spent in the field with the Creator,friends, and family. Getting the big one and the story behind that harvest is what it is all about...
