Congrats on your first deer Amy and on teaching yourself and not letting anyone discourage you! I can understand where you are coming from not having anyone in the family who hunts. My family is the same way. I don't know where I caught the bug but I had it at an early age and it was just something I had to answer. We need more women like you in hunting (and on this board so stick around!) I wish you were a little closer to me, I would love to send some business your way.
