Im a young guy, 22, and have been bowhunting since I was 12. It is safe to say it is my passion and religion. I love high country backpack style hunts and also enjoy chasing deer, elk and moose.
After living in the Lower Mainland for a few years and never hunting in the area its finally time to get after it. I typically just hunt hard with my dad and brother for the few sparing weeks or weekends that I get home for. I would really like to expand my bowhunting horizons and am a bit stumped on how to get started. A couple days a year just isn't cutting it and I can feel the call of the wild. It just feels a bit intimidating in a new region without a single friend in the hunting circle.
I would be forever grateful of someone who pointed me in the right direction. Any kind of resources that have helped you guys out in the past or anything else you are willing to share to help a young guy get started would be greatly appreciated. Is there any societys/clubs I could join? Id love to tag along and am more than willing to help out on a hunt (put up stands, pack out game, etc.) just to be along for the experience is what its all about.
Anyways, the point of all this I guess is to introduce myself and hope Im lucky to meet some of you hardcore bowhunters in the Lower Mainland or anywhere in BC for that matter! :-D
Shoot straight and hunt hard.
