I grew up in a family that did NOT hunt. As a first generation hunter, everything I know has been gleaned off of friends and forums.
Where I live in upstate NY, deer hunting is a big deal and I'm finally finding some success there, but I don't have any good friends who hunt other species consistently. At this time of year, in this area, we can hunt: fur bearers, coyotes, small game, and sometimes turkey.
Here are my questions:
1. Any advice for someone looking to break into new types of hunting that aren't as popular or widely discussed as deer hunting?
2. Is there a certain game animal or type of hunt that would be a good gateway for me into broadening my horizons?
3. Is there such a thing as a "fast paced" hunt? Tree stand hunting really tests my patience, which is a good discipline for me, but sitting still is a huge challenge for me.
Any input from you experienced hunters would be greatly appreciated.
