Thread: new member, new hunter

Hi again Simon,

My 2cents,

When I was younger I read the stories of cullers and hunters going bush and heading miles into the hills and thought I had to rush out there and do the same, Just remember you are young and have plenty of time to learn, don't compare you're exploits to others, hunt at your pace and enjoy yourself. Find an area (doc land maybe) and familiarise yourself with it by hunting small to start off with, by that I mean don't look at heading to the back boundary of the block but pick something closer and within your limits (it will surprise you what your limit is) and find out what is in there and your way around, keep expanding from there and you will learn the tracks to take and what ones lead you into a pile of shit ( I'm good at finding all the shit short cuts that take me twice as long). Some of my best hunts have been the shortest, areas that every one else walks past because it's too close to the carpark.
The last two deer I shot on DOC land I could see the roof of my ute!

There is some really good advice here on the forum,

maybe we can catch for a hunt sometime.

Cheers,
Jase
