[QUOTE="jimboslock, post: 1319732, member: 14636"] So I'm one of the unusual men who grew up in Oklahoma and has never hunted. In fact, I've never shot a gun of any kind. Go figure. My dad wasn't into it, so consequently I never was either. Enter my father-in-law, who is an avid hunter. I expressed some genuine interest in bowhunting and next thing I know, I have a Christmas present of a compound bow! Well I've since learned how to shoot the bow. But that's the easy part, right? I mean, I can hit the target. But isn't there so much more to it? Okay, so here are my questions: [LIST] [*]I was thinking of hunting Ft Gibson just because I live in Broken Arrow and it is the closest place with a decent amount of land. Does anybody have any experience hunting Ft Gibson? I have seen a lot of people on here say "I don't want the secrets". Well I personally DO want the secrets. I went out scouting last weekend and realized I don't know what the heck I'm doing. What am I looking for? Where should I be? Near water? Food? Help? [*]Is it possible to be a successful bowhunter for whitetail without being in a tree stand? [*]What is the best way to learn how to hunt, given I don't have someone to take me out and show me? Any BA locals willing to teach me and I'll buy you lunch? :) [/LIST] Any advice you can give a totally green hunter would be great. At this point I'm pretty overwhelmed with all the crap I need to buy and all the things I need to learn! Thanks! [/QUOTE]
