[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 1146971, member: 55230"] One can only gain so much 1st hand experience so when you start talking to successful hunters and taking advice make sure you understand the advice to a T. Know not only what they suggest, but why they do it as your version of their technique may unknowingly defeat the entire purpose. Understanding the "Why's" will help you develop your own ideas. No matter what everyone hunts a little different than the next guy. Cherish and appreciate the hunt, not just the harvest. There is something to be learned every time you step in the forest. Know your weapon! 1000's of people buy a slug gun days [sometimes the night] before deer gun season, chances are if you're buying a gun that late you don't know a whole lot about what you're doing, nor does it give you any time to get acquainted to your rifle/shotgun. Needless to say this results in a lot of wounded and lost game, this lack of preparation IMO is disrespectful to the game and to other hunters. [/QUOTE]
