Hi all, my name is Charlie and Im from Ottawa,kansas. Im 25 and just getting into hunting. My dad always fished so thats what I grew up doing. I am currently enrolled to take hunters safety november 2nd and planning on observing a friend on his hunt but i wont actually be doing any hunting this year because i cant afford to purchase a gun in time. Anybody from my area on this forum? any advice would be greatly appreciated.
