Hello guys, I live in the Bellingham area and I've been gearing up to go out for my first rifle deer season this October. I am a new hunter looking to build some connections. I have no family members that have any experience and most of my friends do not hunt or only hunt waterfowl. I've been educating myself and gearing up over the last 3-4 months but there is only so much you can learn from podcasts, YouTube, internet, and books. I also have taken and passed the hunters safety course. Thanks again guys. Feel free to send me a personal message or just comment on the board. Thanks guys and looking forward to hearing from yall soon.
