also, I personally think learning the way you are will be more rewarding when you get that first one
people that get taken out and all set up, have a much easier time, but I think they miss learning a lot of things, you learn by trial and error
trial and error in the hunting world adds yrs of experience over a hunter that was walked out put up a tree and placed in a spot to kill
they never got to learn why to hunt there or how to read sign or the rest of things involved in hunting
more experienced folks like to take there kids to get them a deer , and I get that , but at the same time I feel the kids miss learning a lot of what we all(experienced hunters who learned from doing) have learned along our yrs
a big difference to me
so just stay possitive and rememebr in the long run you'll be a better hunter by doing all this work now
