New to hunting
« on: September 18, 2011, 04:46:37 PM »
Hi there everyone! I'm new to hunting, and trying to find someone to introduce me to the sport. I've got a modern tag for deer, but I would also LOVE to try my hand at grouse hunting in the mean time. Would anyone be willing to help me out? Thank you so much!

~Jenny

Jenny.......First thing I would need to ask is how old are you (because you may need hunter safety courses). I am always looking for someone to go out with. I spend alot of time in the woods this time of year and most people I know can't get away as much as I can. PM me and lets chat, and congrats on getting in to hunting   :tup:

Where is Lakewood? I like hair, engine grease and always stop to look at rainbows.
Can't we all just get along?
