Maybe this year you can connect. If I counted from the time I was nine it took me ten, but did not get serious about deer hunting and separating my self from the pumpkin parade ( Ohio's Gun Season ) until I was sixteen when dad bought me my CB. Was nineteen when I shot my first deer, a button buck! But will have to give alot of that credit to my brother since he put me in the right spot and I just had to wait for the sunset showdown!! LOL!!

Are you hunting from a stand or hunting from the ground in or out of blinds Pines? When I was around 23 or so a friend put me in a tree and my deer sightings doubled if not tripled after that and have been in the trees ever since!
