5 FIRST TIME HUNTER, WHERE TO START?

[coachcw]

No doubt some of us have had bad experiances while hunting crowed areas. I would try to hunt with intergrity and ethics no matter what the cost and if we see someone acting in a manner unbecoming as a hunter then do what you can to educate them , typically its ignorance not bad people. As far as your style of hunting and where to go , pick a area that fits your physical abillity and hunt like your using a spear not a gun , slow down and take in all the beauty off a hunt and dont just focus on the kill . It's really great to see new hunters getting involved in our big game hunting heritage .

Wow, that timber tiger needs an English class and a chill pill STAT.   


If I was you I would go to a place without antler point restrictions if you're looking for success. There are quite a few nice muleys and whitetails to be had in  the blues if you can scout, but it's always nice when your starting out to be able to shoot any buck. This would make the NE corner a good option for you.

My advice would be to focus on hunters ed, apply for special permit hunts (late buck/doe tags) and just spend as much time as possible out in the big woods learning the ropes before the season. Its always a nice option to do your scouting before the season starts and not during like a lot of people do because they can't find time. That will give you a major edge.

Actually, I think Timber Tiger needs an "atta boy" for taking on foster kids and trying to get them involved in hunting.  If you've ever witnessed any of the situations he described you would know that it's one of the most disappointing and disgraceful occurrences in modern hunting...often times driven by greed and recklessness.  It is good advice for the OP to get familiar with where the hunting pressure is during MF seasons and try to stay away from it.  Having a bad experience like T. tiger described might discourage new hunters from wanting to participate in the future.
