Lol loved the Latte and Tika poke Micky,

I am also fairly new here Beginnerhunter, so welcome, jump on the DOC website and start studying the DOC maps for spots you think look good, let us know in 5 years time when you get your first deer, id be surprised if anyone would be kind enough to provide information where the deer are, mostly as im sure most deer hunters have spent many years honing theyre skills and mapping theyre secret spots and personally i feel that can be the best part of becoming a deer stalker, you might go out 20 times and not get a deer starting out but dont let this demotivate you because you will gain more experience with each year, i think the best advice out of everything i can think of is buy the most quietest possible apparel you can find, but dont bother with cheap fleece, because even when you think your quiet your probably still not quiet enough, I own a Sauer in 6.5 Creedmoor, fantastic calibre and it will be all youll need starting out. good luck
