Hi. I'm from Edmonton and will be turning 50 this year. Moved around a lot when I was a kid but we settled in the Edmonton area in the early 80's.
I've always enjoyed camping and fishing but never did much of it with regularity. I have never been hunting even though my brother and friend go out most years.
Last August I bought a compound bow and have been enjoying the hell out of it.
I am currently going through the New Hunter Education Course and am figuring out a plan for my summer and fall weekends to see how many animals I can scare into the next WMU with my bow.
It's not about having to put meat in the freezer. I need an excuse to get out of the city, away from the computer and into the places that truly make me feel at peace. A little meat in the freezer will be an awesome bonus. I can only go down soo many Youtube rabbit holes and forum posts before I have to just get off my butt and try it for myself.
Who knows, I may even have an opportunity to post a success or two on here.
