RE: HEY!
Welcome to the board Kansashunter! Deer hunting is the greatest sport you could get into, and this is THE best hunting site there is! As others have said, don't be afraid to ask questions. You'll get plenty of great advise here. Learn all you can about the game you are hunting. I've been hunting for over 30 years, and I still learn things every time I step into the woods! Learn your game, and your territory, master your gun and/or bow, and you will have a lifetime of great hunting experiences!
Have a happy birthday, and good luck this season!
