Getting out and just doing it goes a long way. Learning on the job bushcraft combined with common sense also goes a long way. I grew up roaming the woods first with a BB gun, then a single shot .22, then a .410, next a 30.06. The smells, the sounds, wind or no, trails, the vibe of the area, all combine to dictate one’s actions.
Coming home empty handed didn’t mean it was a bad day. Grew up in NC and now live in UT. Definitely a different feel to the woods here along with mtn. lions, large bear, elk, moose, and goats. Longer ranges and higher mtns. Hate all the rattlers around when warm.
Just do it. Going to start the kids out this summer learning the ways of the wild.
