My name is Zach, and I am relatively new to the area. I grew up hunting but never cleaned an animal only fish. I have wanted to get into it for the longest time, but never really had others to go with me and allowed that to hold me back. But now I got the OnXMaps and I plotted out an area after talking to a Master Hunter in the area to get rabbit. I am going solo currently, but if someone wanted to go I would be down.
I only have a Civic for now, and just bought a house. So the truck is the next step but may take a bit lol. I am a Tech head and work in the game industry. So it is rather difficult for me to find people ok with the idea of hunting. So when I found this forum through reddit, I was pretty stoked. Anyways there is a lot I could post here that would likely be boring to many. But I am trying to get into hunting for the first time as an adult.
P.S. If anyone would be willing to show me how to butcher a deer, I would be eternally grateful and gladly buy some beer or food or something in return for your time. Granted I know the season is a bit of a ways out. And I have watched videos but it's not quite the same as if you were doing it.

Get a goat off Craigslist, smaller but virtually the same to butcher. :chuckle:
Plus it'll fit in your civic. :tup:
Not a bad idea! Thanks for the suggestion!

Welcome to the site and welcome to the huntn world !! Never to late to start man !! If you can afford it look into getting a Hancock pass or a vail pass !! You will have not only a great chance at whackn a deer but there are plenty on here that hunt those areas including myself that would be willing to help you if you get something down, my suggestion is to hunt modern, master that before picking up a bow!! And shoot shoot and shoot some more, you owe it to whatever your huntn to put it down quick !! Other than that get out in the woods and learn a day in the bush is better than a month on the internet !!!
Any idea how much a pass costs? I looked online but it didn't list the price yet. And I have a .308 ready to go for modern firearm. And I definitely don't want to make the deer suffer, quick kill is what I am for. I have been practicing but now that I moved here I need to find a new shooting range to practice long range at. Ideally I want to be within 100 yards with the .308. And I agree nothing makes me feel more refreshed than a day in the woods without a lot of people around. So glad I found this site, you guys are awesome!
