Hello all,
The name is AL, I've grown up in socal my hole life. Spent large amounts of time camping and fishing in places like Yosemite and Yellowstone. I do a lot of hiking up in Azusa/ Angeles National Forest/ la Canada flintridge area , and I plan on doing a good amount of turkey/ waterfowling in the near future so... My biggest question are the following:
1) when it comes to gear, would you rather have a lighter more running style shoe, or a more traditional hiking boot?
2)I'm a bigger guy, 5 foot 11 about 215 lbs. are certain turkey packs more comfortable for a guy built like a bowling ball or all pretty much the same?
3) GPS systems, best bang for your buck?
4) BIGGEST QUESTION..
If you could read 3 books on hunting/ hunting techniques when you first began hunting, what would they be?
Ok thanks for any advice you guys, I'm the only one in my family on this side of the states so I'm self teaching an have a late start being 25. Super eager to learn all I can so once again thanks for any suggestions and help.
