    Hello fellow bow hunters. My name is Kendrick. I'm new to hunting. I moved from Guam to California,and now reside in South Carolina. Can you say culture shock? Yes. Living in South Carolina was tough in the beginning. Until Few years later, a friend took me with him on a hunt. I thought it was boring at first until that deer came in.
    Im practicing now, hoping to get my first deer with a bow and arrow. I don't have a lot of experience in hunting. No one in my family hunts. I only have two good friends that hunt, but they dont seem to be really helpful. So believing in myself,watching bowHunt or die videos and everyone's experience on the forum can guide me to getting my first deer with a bow this season.

    Hi everybody!

    I'm Joonas, a young fellow from Finland and a late bloomer to hunting. At the moment I'm eagerly waiting for my hunting gear (bow etc.) to arrive so I can really start practising! And also I'm waiting for an opportunity to take the Hunters exam to get my Hunting card. The process is still on but I'm spending hours a day to achieve success. I have been shooting target recurve for a year for now, so it should give me a good starting point.

    I have to thank guys in Bowhunt or Die series for giving me the spark to begin hunting in the first place. All it needed was to find your videos in Youtube and I was hooked! Thank you for your inspiration and keep on doing great job!

    Allthought in Finland you can only hunt small game with a bow at the moment (biggest is European roe deer), I'm still looking for hunting with a bow.

    I'm hoping to get some good ideas and knowledge from senior hunters and grow up as a good hunter.

    That's all folks for my first post. Let's see what autumn brings with it. Bowhunt or Die!
