Looking to try hunting the mainland for the first time this year. I've been hunting for about 6-7 years now but never off the Island. My father wasn't a hunter and I had never hunted before taking the CORE 7 years ago. I've done well on the Island and was even lucky enough to get an Elk draw, but I don't have many friends that hunt and the ones that do never leave the island. My son turns 10 this year and now that I will have a hunting partner I'm looking to venture to the mainland to hunt deer. I have done many searches and the more I search the more confused and discouraged I get on where I should even start. I'm not yet setup for a proper hunting camp and the fact that it will just be me and my son I'm pretty much limited to a cabin. I also do not own a quad at this time, but my son and I are not afraid to get out of the truck and hike. I've seen a lot of recommendations for Tunkwa Lake Resort but everyone seems to say it's somewhat of a war zone once the season opens. I'm really nervous about hunting an area that has a lot of pressure as my sons safety is my primary concern.
Anyway what I'm asking for is some help on where my son and I might start to learn some mainland areas to hunt deer with some sort of a hunter friendly cabin rentals/resort nearby...possibly some areas that have good youth hunt opportunities as well, but without a dangerous amount of hunting pressure. I have no specific areas in mind as I have never been and don't know anyone who has.
Please feel free to PM me if you rather....Like I said my only hunting partner is my son so any help would be greatly appreciated.
