You learn a lot from watching & letting animals go. All the best

The advice above about selecting your kills very carefully is very very important. It’s all too easy to create the wrong impression in other hunters minds as lots of guys have very different ideas about how many animals is too many. Probably the best advice you’ll hear other than make sure your EPIRB is properly registered.
