Hey all, new member from Eugene Oregon here. I’m also pretty new to hunting. I grew up in NE Ohio and no one in my family hunted, so I never learned as a kid other than taking a hunter ed class at the local gun club. While I was in the army I was stationed in Alaska. There I went out with some friends to go duck hunting a few times, but mostly stuck to fishing. I put hunting on the shelf of unfulfilled dreams when I moved to Oregon 5 years ago. I get a free hunting/fishing combination license as a disabled vet, but have only gone fishing here. This year I decided to take full advantage of it and try hunting again, so retook the NRA hunters ed class. That class mostly focuses on deer hunting, so that gave me the itch to try that. I got a deer tag, zeroed in my 308, and have been immersing myself into all the resources I can find online; that’s also what brought me to this forum. I’m trying to learn as many lessons as I can from experienced hunters, rather than by mistakes myself (I’m sure I’ll still make plenty). This Saturday is the season opener, and I’m excited to get out in the woods!
