Here's the deal...I've always loved the woods and hunting since I was little. The problem is I grew up in Miami where "woods" and "hunting" do not exist. Haha. My parents have never hunted nor have they ever had the urge to. A couple of my buddies would go up north near Lake Okeechobee to a ranch and hunt hogs, but I never went with them because I was always too busy with sports. Long story short, I have absoluely no idea why I love being out in woods nor why I love hunting since I didnt really know anyone that hunted or hiked or done anything outdoors except mainly saltwater fishing while growing up. No one introduced me to these things, I was just born this way. emoScratch
With muzzle loader season opening this weekend and rifle season around the corner, I WANT TO TAKE DOWN A BUCK!!! I have ZERO experience hunting, but I do have my own gear (I think I have all I need: rifle, ammo, clothes, am I missing anything else?) because I had planned on learning to hunt a couple years ago but didnt know anyone in town to help me out. Honestly, I have not shot my rifle in about 6 months, but when I used to shoot it more often I was a half decent shot (not great, not terrible) at 100 yards. I used to live with my in-laws on the back side of Signal Mountain so I used to shoot a bunch, but I moved to the East Brainerd/Ooltewah area a little over a year ago and shooting my rifle has been few and far between.
Now to the point of this thread. I dont have a muzzle loader, but I do have a 30.06, so I'm not looking to go out until rifle season opens up. I am asking if anyone is willing to take me with them. The main thing I want to do is learn. If I happen to get the opportunity to shoot a buck, HELL YEAH!! But if not, its no big deal. I would do everything in my power to not get in your way or ruin the hunt. You can do all the shooting if you feel more comfortable that way. Like I said, learning to hunt is my number one priority. I will help pay for anything that I need to.
I just want to add that I also want to learn to duck and turkey hunt. I have a 12 gauge for that. So borrowing firearms is not necessary.
This forum is awesome and has helped me tremendously with bass fishing, now its time to learn to hunt!!! I really appreciate all the help Ive received. emoThanks
