Hunting tips for a newbie

(1/1)

LivingDeadGirl:
My SO has been trying to teach me to hunt for a few years now.  im terrible at it. He gave up for a bit and we just started it up again this past May. Anyone care to offer advice?

I hate insects and I'm an insect magnet, so I need to wear spray which probably doesn't help with a lot of the game. I can't walk quietly, I'm very clumsy. I have a hard time spotting anything in the woods (especially squirrels), and I get bored to the point that I apparently hum and talk to myself when I'm alone.

JamesCollins:
Maybe you start with something less intense and just get outdoors. Acclimate to the environment then try to increase from there.

LivingDeadGirl:
We haven’t been out this year but we usually go hiking during the summer.  Outdoors isn’t a problem most of the time.  I don’t handle bugs well and as I mentioned, I’m very clumsy.  At one point, we would make a wager on how many times I would fall during the hike.

I think the big thing is that I just can’t walk quietly  and since I am clumsy, I have to look at the ground to see where my feet going so I miss a lot of things that aren’t on the ground directly in front of me.
