I posted this in the General Hunting forum and was advised by one of the members to try my luck here so I've pasted it below.
Hey guys,
This is such an embarrassing thing to post but if I ever want to learn, I have to do it. I'm a citified guy. I lived in Miami, NYC, and LA for the last 18 years. I'm 36 and have never hunted. My wife and I are moving to Montana in a few weeks and we've never even been there before. We just know we don't want the city life anymore and decided to pack everything up and get out. We did the same thing here in Prescott, AZ. We left LA and moved here without ever been here before. We got a taste for being away from the city and now we want to go even further.
I love the outdoors and I own several firearms, including a Weatherby Backcountry in 300 win mag. I've only used it at the range but I bought that rifle because I want to hunt.
My question for you all is... How can I get started? I want to learn from seasoned hunters and get out there but it's tough to find people. I feel embarrassed and don't want to annoy people by asking.
I'd appreciate any suggestions/advice.
Thanks!
