I am betting that most of you learned to hunt from your fathers, uncles, grandfathers (and maybe mothers, aunts and grandmothers). But that you learned hunting from someone who knew how to spot, say, deer bedding in a sea of scrub brush and forest and who knew to teach you where to go, what to do, etc.
The hubster and I are, for the most part, do-it-yourselfers. Hubster got several years of some coaching from the guy who runs www.bowhunting.net but that was specific to the Texas Hill Country. We were just ruminating this evening that while it would be fun to get to go on a guided hunt (and you probably learn from guides if they're the sort who want to share what they know) what is really needed for us babes in the woods (literally!) is "hunting school". Something where guides, or ranch owners, or somebody, would literally take a group out and teach them how to hunt.
IS there any such critter? Or are folks just on their own to find somebody who is experienced and willing to take them out on their ranch/ lease/ whatever?
Just wondering.
Springmom, laid up with the hip anyway this weekend, but looking forward to getting back out there....!
