lfranklin I do not want you to get discouraged either, but I will warn you that some folks hunt for years without getting their first, others by sheer luck get their first the first time they go out. There are a couple of things you must do to become a successful hunter. First thing you must do is be persistant, the second thing you must do is learn, every time you go into the woods hunting or not try and leave having gained some sort of knowledge. Every time you get busted by a deer try and figure out why. Every time you hunt and do not even see a deer figure out if the reason you didn't was because you did something wrong or if you were just there at the wrong time. If this is your first season one thing you may want to do if you are not already is to hook up with an experienced hunter. Ask questions of us or anyone who knows how to hunt.

Hunting is learning.
