    Hello All!

    This is my first year of hunting ever. I am 25 years old and have been wanting to hunt since I was probably 8 or 9 but never had the opportunity. Recently, my girlfriend and I moved to a new house with about 70 acres of land, mostly thick woods, not ideal for hunting but better than nothing. I then purchased my first bow in august this year. I have been all over this website trying to soak in every bit of information since that time. The hard work paid off already as I took down my first doe about 2 weeks ago and my lord it was about the best feeling in the world. I am looking forward to getting my first buck soon. Everyone and everything about this website is just a fantastic help and I look forward to learning more from you guys.

    Welcome and congrats. You must be doing things right. It took me three years to get my first deer. I hope you're ready forthe addiction.

    It truly is an addiction my friend. Once you go on your first hunt you want to get ready for your second trip right after that. Remember to stay out there all day it takes patience.
