I was fortunate that when i started hunting i never had anyone to show me what was to be done. My dad never hunted at all so i had little advice given tome. I say i was fortunate because all that i have picked up over the past 10 years or so has been hands on knowledge learning from mistakes rather than someone telling me what to do. When i was a little guy i used to try like a bugger and put in a ton of effort and still come up with just average deer. I still try hard but i am alot smarter about how i go about it now and am starting to see the benefits of my first 4 or 5 years being "re-building" years lol. Always going to learn something new but i am alot more confident now than i was when i started. Obviously i ain't learnt it all yet cause the buck i was after is still walkin around and not on my wall.
