Dear Friends,
It’s always been difficult starting a new hobby especially if you don’t have any friends or family members who shares same passion. I've been fishing for 34 years and last year decided to expend my adventures by taking a hunting course and getting a hunting license. The first question I had (as probably the most people who just started) is where to hunt. Most people I been talking to belongs to a hunting clubs and/or hunting on the private properties. Again, since I don’t have any hunter friends with the land and waiting time to become a member in the clubs is very long I decided to explore a public places to hunt. I live in Rockland County and the closest place to me is Sterling Forest. Since I don’t have any experience I been reading a lot of posts on the internet on how to do scouting and see the signs of the deer and then spent hours in the woods but till today no luck of even seeing a deer. I definitely doing something wrong and looking for someone who can guide me in the right direction. I’m well organized and for me the safety is always first so I promise not to cause any problems if anyone is willing to give me live lessons. The hunting traditions should be continued and I promise to return same favor to any new hunter in the future.
Thank you all in advance for your time and advice. I also can be reached at
