Thanks, Scot. The forum's pretty incredible so far. Tons of interaction, and just what I was looking for. Much to discuss, read, share, and learn. I'll look forward to making some connections beyond the web in the future, but even this is very satisfying.

Hello All,
My name is Bill and I just joined the forum today. I live in Rockland County and I've never been hunting.
Here's my deal.
I got into shooting action pistol and trap shooting over the past two years or so and in the past year I took the hunters ed class and I think I'm ready to give it a shot, no pun intended.
The idea for hunting started when a friend asked me if I wanted to take the class because a coworker of his said he would take the two of us out for the first time. Talking with another friend about his hunting he said he would take me along too.
So now it's a week before deer rifle season and I'm trying to be patient. Both guys haven't brought it up in a while and I'm starting to get worried that I won't get to go out this season.
Unfortunately, living in Rockland I can't hunt in my back yard which would make thing a lot easier with the many many deer that pass though every day.
I've got all my tags and my rifle is sighted in, anyone want to take me along?

I'll stop rambling now, thanks for all the great info on the forum.

Bill

Welcome to the forum and to hunting.

Let folks you know that you want to get out and you'll get something going; kinda close to opening day, but season is plenty long enough to get your feet wet.

I got going much the same way.......never did have the guy who said he would get me started help.
