Welcome! I am still a newbie in the hunting world... have only a couple of years under my belt with a bow (crossbow), and have learned a great deal from some of the veterans on this site. I have yet to take my first Buck, but I enjoy the planning, scouting, camp, and just being in the woods so much - that I think I would hunt the rest of my life even if I never got the "trophy". I wish you luck and on behalf of my family - we thank you for your service!
