I always liked shooting guns though and when i was 12 and could take my hunters safety course i did it. I havnt really hunted much since i have been out hunting turkey a few times with no luck but now im 14 and i can finally hunt deer. Im really interested in deer hunting and i cannot wait until this season to hunt. I am going to be hunting up at my camp where my dad hasnt had much luck but all the locals and big hunters who come here get lots of big bucks. It seems like the deer population is really high but once hunting season comes around they all disapeare. Do you guys have any tips on how to get my first deer or anything in general?
Hi! Like you, I'm new to the forum (great forum, by the way) and it's been so many years I don't hunt, I'd better consider myself as new to hunting. I'm from S FL and I used to hunt some years ago on a friend's property.My friend moved up north and I'm having problems trying to locate a FL hunters club and some sort of hunt that's not going to cost me $4 -$5 G. My advice is to start your experience buddying with family members or friends who have some experience. I believe you, deer are a very wary type of being, they got a very developed 6th sense. All that makes it difficult yet fun to hunt.
