Good for you, ultraslug. I wish I could get some of my 30 year old buddies to try hunting. I started when I was 10 and have loved it ever since. It sure is a great thing when anybody, regardless of their age, gets into the sport.
Be patient and have fun!

Better late than never!! I'm sure you'll love it. Glad to see you're getting into it. I've been going for 18 years and have loved every minute of it.

I did ,
I'm also largely self taught which might explain why I suck at it ... ;)

I was fortunate and came from a family of hunters. I started on upland game/waterfowl when I was 8 and deer when I was 12. I'm 37 now!!!

Truthfully, I feel like I start over every year. The thrill and anticipation of the season still affects me like a kid the night before christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't do any hunting of any kind till I was in my early 30's. Now I'm in my mid-40's and trying deer hunting for the first time this fall.

Really looking forward to it!

don't worry about your age as long as you can enjoy what your doing. my brother in law is going hunting with me & my dad this year me is 32. like jimbohunter said be patient and don't get frustrated when you don't kill a big one your first year. it takes pratice to hunt the big ones. if you love the outdoors you should love this. i'm going on 19 years now & every year i look farward to hunting season.
