I apologize if this is not the right place to post this...

Greetings to all, I came to this site seekinginformation concerningbowhunting and hunting in general.This hunting season will be the first time I will actually go bowhunting. Needless to saywhile I can do well shooting at hay bails and 3d targets I've never shot ata living animal or actually hunted at all. This will be the first time ever goinghunting,sadly and I am 28. I reside in Louisiana and Deer season opens on October 1 for Archery. I'm want to start scoutingsome public land and that's what brought me here. I'm not sure whereor how to start when it comes to scouting. I know I can learn by trial and error but thought someonewould be willing to share someinformation orlinks to reading material so that I can learn for myself. I've already accepted that I may not see the first deer this year or take any game for that matter. I am prepared for this at welcome the opportunited to learn from it.

Thanks for any info you can provide.
