New to board

[MrLykens]

Hello,

First post on the board! Looks like a friendly place.

I'm looking for a hunting partner or if someone would point me in a good direction, i'd truly appreciate it. Maybe a good local club to join?

I've been asking around but have no takers. I'm new to the sport, so this I feel, is my obstacle. I understand the hesitation, it's like inviting a new friend to Christmas dinner.

I'm just looking for a chance to learn.

Thank you for your time.
Mark

Welcome to the board, it sounds like you might be new to our state as well. What exactly are you looking for help with? There are a lot of great people here that are very helpful but we need to know more specifically what you are looking for. Are you into rifle, muzzle loader, or archery? What animals do you want to pursue? Give us some more info and you will get a lot of responses.

Thank you.

I currently own rifles but just purchased a bow (no experience with it). I'm interested in all types of game. Waterfowl, upland and big to small game. I currently own 22's, 223, 308, 30-06, 410 and a 12. Just came back from the range today

I'd be willing to just tag along if need be, the first few times to get the experience. I'd help with the processing of game and so on. I've skinned out pigs and sheep years ago, so it's not all that unfamiliar.

I have done some dove hunting but that was years ago, while in the service in AZ.

I don't mind getting dirty and enjoy fishing and camping. I have, I believe most of my gear. If not, I'll will purchase it.

I'm 42 and would say in decent shape. I hiked Tres Pistolas spring trail 5.31 miles with a backpack, food, water and clothes. 3 weeks ago without issue.

Welcome to the site Amigo!
First off are you ex military? If so I think I speak for everyone here Thank You for your service!

I'm a NR but I will tell you this there are a great bunch of guys on here. I received so much help when I drew tags in NM from everyone here. You can definitely learn a lot from these guys.
Good luck!

Your Amigo

Welcome,do you have a particular part of the state that you want to hunt? I ask because I am down south and need a partner. My last partner moved to Texas so now I don't apply with him. PM sent.
