Old Newbie here. Started getting into hunting in 95 then stopped in 2001 due to many family issues (read: babies).

Shotgun: deer/turkey (Rem 870)
Bow: deer and attempted turkey (ha!) (PSE Baby G-Force)

Getting back into it-didn't realize how much I missed it until after a 3 day shotgun hunt in Ohio last week. I don't know why that made me miss it as I froze my a$$ off and didn't take anything.?. Seems alot like the first go at this....

Living in Northern VA (this is not the south!) and looking for some tips on getting out into the area. Somewhat close to Fairfax county. Give me a shout.

Have to give a shout out to my hunting mentor-Nalley in Louisville (if you're still around). The "Buckmaster" taught me everything I know always made me look bad by taking a buck/tom everytime we went out.

Wanted to say hi.
