Hello All,
I stumbled onto this forum in search of tips for hunting. I have hunted with shotgun most of my adult life, (I'm 30) but am just starting into archery. I hunt for meat not for trophy and attemp to use as much of an animal I am lucky enough to harvest. This forum seems to have some knowledgable members and outdoorsman who are not interested in trolling. I thoroughly enjoy the outdoors and look forward to getting to know more like minded people near me. As I get older I feel the need to be more self reliant and am attempting to replace as much of the so called food bought at the grocery with gardening and animals I harvest. I have a large garden in which I harvested just under a ton of produce this season. I hope to learn as much as possible about becoming more reliable as a hunter as in the past most of my kills have been mostly luck. That being said, I enjoy stalking or still hunting. I've gotten pretty good over the last couple of years. I have stalked withing 10 yards of a couple of does while bedded. I just purchased a ghost blind, but have no desire to sit in a tree. Most of my skills were gathered while in the military and I have self taught most everything else. I haven't been out in the woods for a couple of months and am starting to get restless. Good luck to you all this season.
Cheers,
Ghost
