RE: What's everyone's experience?
Don't want to be left out....I turned 30 (oh my god where did the time go) this year. I have been hunting only for about 5 years. I always liked to shoot, but never really had the urge to hunt. Then I went out with my uncle, with a shotgun, and have been hooked ever since. 1st year Shotgun only. 2nd year shotgun & bow. 3rd year shotgun, bow & muzzleloader. Last year Shotgun & Rifle (different county), bow and muzzleloader. Point is I don't let a deer season go by without me being out in it. I haven't been too successful yet, only one doe, but I do enjoy myself.
This year I'm going to try some new areas, and maybe even cross the river and try for a Black Bear in Greene County.
I'll let you know how I make out. Also, just to let you all know, as a new and inexperienced hunter I have found the advice offered on this board to be indespesible, it is appreciated.
I'll take good luck over skill any day!
