>>2638041not OP but I'm starting to hunt this year too. In the Midwest, bow hunting. planning to try to stalk since I don't have the extra funds for a blind yet. probably just going to start doing small game this season but I did get my deer tag in case I have the confidence in my skillset by the time archery season ends.
done a ton of research on my own and the hunting ed classes actually helped, but I'm open for whatever info you got homie.
