I think there might be a couple near me, but I'll keep that place in mind when I go looking. Now question, what happens if I can't find private land? Is public land usually busy and hard to hunt on?
I'm glad to hear that! And I have looked around for good shops to go to. Preferably one with some range time. Thank you everyone for some great info so far!
The questions are perfectly okay, and no, i dont know anyone that could mentor me. I have not found a job out here yet. And no i have never shot a bow before but i have been reading a lot about it. Which i know its different than actually doing it.
I would normally agree with hunting small game first but I dont want to kill something i wont eat or use. And yes i can practice shooting a bow right on my land, but i do not have land to hunt on.
I have not hunted before. Lived in a city my whole life and im finally where I belong. I would love to hunt whitetail so i can stock up my freezer next year. I just dont know where to begin. I dont have a mentor because I dont know anyone. And i would prefer to bow hunt.
