BTW, this line, "Its going to be a rough day if you don't have a mentor." Man do I ever feel that. *humbling* is the word I would use to describe self-teaching this stuff. I hire guides for the first time with any new game animal. Super helpful. Mendel taught me how to lead my doves. I shot 70...

LOL. Good lord, you sure aren't a duck hunting salesman! This is gold, thanks man. I have Lemasters ID, nothing in the way of mosquito combat. I got a decoy bag and a backpack that hopefully does the trick. Thanks again, really grateful for that info.

Good luck on that D16. It is humbling. With fishing, you can blame luck. Weather. Stuff like that, but with hunting, you know you shoulder the failure. Which is also what I love. It is insane the work that goes into even the most basic things. For example, on my first hunt, I hired a boar...

Thanks dude! Bug repellent is golden - i have none and had no intention of taking any.

Thanks Mag! LOL, I see I need to go make more money.

Hi. I'm Ben, I've posted in a few places around here, and I'm doing my best to be a likeable newb. New here, new to hunting, recently recovered from bankruptcy after purchasing my gear. Going to Wister this weekend. Tthe reservation (#7!) provides a phone number for questions, but no one...

Hi guys, I hate to be the new guy who barges into conversation with questions.. I've resisted this with about 100 threads.. like, for example at one point I did literally want to ask if one really does need '100 dozen decoys' as is common advice around here. What the heck is MCC?

Done! Yeah, hunters are social on forums - not in the woods! I saw two deer hunters and neither one was happy to see me - their faces turned from angst to smiles when I said I was out for turkey. I edited my post! All of this scouting work ain't gonna just be given away!

WaterDawg.. I absolutely LOVE the wandering anyway. Being out there for the sunrise, trudging back in the heat. Listening to the sounds. Not sure if I use hunting as an excuse to get outside or if I use hiking as an excuse to hunt. Doesn't matter! Can confirm though that if quail and/or mourning...

Cool, thanks guys! That is A OK by me, I'm in learning mode, and I'm happy to switch gears to quail. Going duck hunting to Wister this weekend. No idea what I'm doing there either, hope they let me camp there.. with a ridiculous 3AM reservation call!! The spring time turkey hunt seems far more...

Hi, new here, new to hunting. I can't believe how unbelievably challenging it is to teach yourself to hunt.. That's what I love about it though. I've only been hunting a few times; guided boar hunt which went great, and I'm fond of the infamous Mendel from Woodland's Hunt Club. So I've added...
