FL/GA summed it up perfectly!

Welcome to the world of hunting, and to the board. I' m pretty new here myself, but can happily say that folks here have been REALLY helpful and I think this is one of the best boards out there. Lots of knowledgable and ethical folks.

Take it one step at a time and don' t be shy about asking questions.

Oh, and add one more step to FL/GA' s list - " Invite your newfound hunting bulletin board friends for some quail/deer hunting on an undisturbed Mississippi farm"

Seriously, though - be sure to keep everyone updated on your progress!
