Hunting tag along

Recommended Posts

Hello, this might sound like a pathetic craigslist ad but i'd like to get my hunting license but I'm a city boy that doesn't have the slightest clue to hunt.  I was just wondering if I could tag along with someone during their deer or bear hunt or any hunts.  Thanks.

The course and materials teach you everything you need to pass the license exam. Now, if you really want to hunt, then you could tag along with some others. What precisely do you wish to hunt and where?

I would suggest coming to one of the shotgun shoots in Clinton and meeting some of the guys first. I know there will be quite a few hunters there that might be willing to take you along. If your interested in hunting pheasants your welcome to be my bird dog if you want. That is how I started out because I was to young to get my hunting licenses.

I'm in the same boat as the OP.

 

I've got my hunting license and have only been in the woods twice.  Once for deer when I was 12 (the best nap I've ever had in my life) and then again a few years ago for pheasant with a friend.  We didn't flush anything and it was surreal to me to be a 45 minute drive from my house and walking around in the woods with a loaded gun.

 

My son, 17, just got his hunting license and for the first time in my life I find myself lost in not knowing what to do or how to teach him this skill.

If you have a bow I'll bring you to the farm I hunt. I don't go after deer with guns anymore... too easy. Small game on state land is probably a good place to begin for anyone, also where I was introduced to hunting as a kid. Anytime in November when they start stocking I'm game to go for a walk and kick up some birds.

I'm in the same situation.  Just got hunter's license and NO idea where to begin/what to do.  I'd be willing to take Deerslayer up on his generous offer.  Maybe we can get another newbie to join us? 

 

I'll be going to one of the upcoming shotgun shootouts in October.  Maybe we can meet up then and set up a date in November.

 

I'll need a shotgun.  I was thinking of the Mossberg 3-in-1.  I'm hoping to hunt turkey, deer & quail.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
