PRECISELY where it comes from, with a little twist! Haha good catch.
I'm in Corona and I'm literally starting from scratch, which is why I set my goal (tentatively) for next year. I'm going to try to get a hunting class soon, and start accumulating gear over the coming months. I'm definitely very open to suggestions, as well.
Edit: Not complete scratch. I have firearms, and am proficient with them. Currently browsing for an entry level hunting rifle, and possibly looking to trade one of my AR's for one. Also starting to look into archery, as well.
Hey Scott,
I’m out of Corona as well...I wrote this years ago when I was in your shoes...still relevant. PM me...

I'll share my experience which will help you get a better understanding of how it works here:
1. Joined the forums and read, read, read...did NOT post yet.
2. Found certain guys on here that seemed to have a better understanding - singled them out and read all their posts.
3. Scouted areas based on their post insights.
4. Hunted alone...learned...and documented my findings.
5. THEN made a few private messages about my hunts to those guys I singled out in the forums. They are much more willing to share that way.
6. Do what they say and share your results with them...good or bad.
7. Start posting about your hunts...don't ask for anything in general posts, just share results. The guys will comment if they want.
WHY this process (3 years) worked for me?
1. I now have a solid bird gun, the right decoys and gear because of their advice.
2. I have a few honey spots because of them...although I have more "friends" when I get a good ressie
3. I always remember to report back to them my findings...(i.e. No turkey sightings to tons of quail...always return the favor).
4. Share your pics of successful hunts...these mentors like to see that you put in the work and got yourself a trophy!
...at least, that is what I did...[/QUOTE]
