I'm looking to start planning and gearing up for my first big game/western hunt next year. I am a military veteran that separated to return to college and will graduate this fall. So with some vacation time and some income to fill in gear gaps I'd like to start doing hunts I've always dreamed of. Currently live in Michigan and grew up a whitetail hunter. Have recently expanded to waterfowl and turkey as well. I'm looking for something an out-of-stater can get in. Maybe join in on one of the hunting meetups on this forum? I went out on one guided hunt trip for snow geese in Missouri and was fairly disappointed by the atmosphere. I have a huge reverence for nature and didn't appreciate the opposite mentality. Is this typically how guided trips are?
Any advice on where to start? I only have clothing and gear for tree sits in Michigan which I know would melt me walking more than a few miles, but would like to pick out a specific hunt and time of the year to start gearing up for.
Thanks!
