Just trying to get started harvesting my own wild meat.
Been in Idaho a few years and I think I'm finally ready to get out and find some wild game, hopefully of the deer variety.

Have:
- A 350 yard sub-moa load in 7mm08 and a Tikka to send it
- Some okay wilderness gear, including some well worn backpacking stuff
- Experience backpacking
- Entry level Glassing/ranging setup
- 2 weeks off work whenever I need
- Hunters education and Idaho resident hunting license
- Gas money
- Empty freezer and wall space
- Immigrant upbringing involving cooking and curing all kind of wierd animals
- Friendly demeanor
- Patience


Don't have:
- Any hunting experience, small or big game
- First hand knowledge of field dressing
- A truck
- Anybody to tag along with
- A weak stomach
- Enough cash for an outfitter

Anywho I'm definitely in the market for some advice to get started, but hopefully looking more to tag along with somebody experienced and willing to take a newcomer under their wing in this fascinating experience of hunting in the West.
