Was asking around about how to find a hunting partner and got introduced to Rokslide. Really excited to dive in!
I'm mid-30's and just moved to North Idaho last summer. I grew up with a hunting grandfather, but he was more into deep sea fishing by the time I got old enough to hang out with him. I picked up fly fishing when we moved to Idaho and then got hooked on all things hunting last fall. Trophy hunting was all I'd been exposed to, so it was neat to see how much hunting is a way of life around here. My first experience was visiting a friend's home where they were butchering his daughter's first deer. It was awesome to see the whole family involved.
I was still a non-resident last fall, so skipped out on the expensive license and tags. But I learned and studied and asked lots of questions. I've backpacked a good deal (mostly for rock climbing) but am excited to explore the 300,000 acres of NFS land out my back door (part of the reason we moved to where we did). I got my feet wet with turkey hunting -- bagging my first ever kill (of anything in my whole life) on Easter Sunday. Details here: Instagram
Anyways, glad to be here and looking forward to learning a lot!
