Hey camoman,

Welcome to the site. I'm sorry that I can't help you with your situation. If you don't get many takers here, you might want to jump down to the Midwest regional forum and try there.

Good luck

welcom camo. i cant help either as i am from texas but welcome. and next time make the text a little larger i had a hard time reading it.

I doubt you will get many to offer their prime areas to hunt and all, for firsts try Public Land hunting, you might be able to meet some fellow hunters out there. If you want private land, I just go door to door, so thats what I would do.

where have you hunted and how far you willing to drive to hunt???
