learn to hunt

A friend took me out to the woods near the Arkansas border last night. We sat in the woods, deer tracks all around. The sky was still bright with pink and blue, but the forest was dark.

The full moon was high in the sky and chorus of coyotes filled the cool air.

No deer. No coyotes. Would have had plenty of squirrels if I brought my .22.

I want to learn how to shoot turkey with a crossbow or bow. Also to be proficient in archery.

I used to be a hardcore vegetarian for 5 years but now I’m a flexitarian who loves fish, turkey, and chicken. I want to learn how to fish.

This year was my first hunting season. I hunted deer, but saw nothing. I went on a guided duck hunt and bagged 3 grey ducks and 2 teal. What a great time!

Because I deer hunt from the ground with a lever action 30-30 with iron sights, I need to learn to better track the deer.

need the experience.

I’ve liven in Kentucky for 21 years and have never been hunting. I was raised in the country on the out skirts of town, went to county school, and have been surrounded by (not to offend anyone) hicks my whole life. My immediate family never hunted in any form. But a lot of my friends and two out of three of my step dads were/are hunters. I guess the reason I haven’t thus far is that I feel like I would be this stereotypical city kid trying to learn to hunt 10 years too late. But now I would like to…

I’ve been learning to hunt with a bow for a few years. Still not very good. Stalking to within a few metres of a wild animal is tricky.
