Grew up in anti-everything fun house. No friends or family in to hunting. No 4x4, no experience to speak of. Last winter went with equally experienced friend for whitetail in Swan Hills AB, spent most of ten days (much to my dismay) in a truck with heated seats, driving oil-field service roads looking for buck luck (skunked).
I do have...
my granpa's 303 (shoots nice'n straight), a new Savage 30-06 w/ simons scope
good coat, boots, field dressing kit, a year and a half range practice.
grew up in Harrison Hot Springs, pretty experienced outdoorsmen, good bushcraft skills, managed to find lots of deer sign last winter, but otherwise don't know my a** from a hole in the ground.
Any tips? Can't afford a guided trip. Very patient, not afraid to hike (good thing with no truck), not expecting to become a grisled vet this season, but would love to stuff that freezer.
HELP!!!
