Hi everyone, I finally signed up here after finding Randy's videos and podcasts. I love those shows and this forum looks great. I'm 31 years old and now live in northern Alberta, Canada having been blessed to grow up in south western British Columbia.
I'm returning to hunting after a 6+ year hiatus. I had just begun my foray into big game hunting when I had a hunting experience that turned me off it completely. In a nut shell, the people who I had thought were showing me how to hunt were not sportsmen and the hunts were gong shows. Even though a deer was eventually killed, I don't count it as "my" deer. As such, to this date I consider myself a big game virgin, having never taken a big game animal myself.
I'm a lifelong fly fisherman and avid conservationist with a passion for protecting our lands and waters while advocating for public land and water access as well as responsible, respectful use of private land while forging good relationships with landowners. Now, I'm ready to bring that passion to hunting. Randy Newberg's show, along with Steven Rinella's Meateater, have been instrumental in rekindling my interest in hunting and provided the types of role models I hope to emulate in my hunting career.
I have a lot to learn, as I'm basically starting from scratch. I'm looking forward to being a part of this community!
