Spring gun season is coming up here real soon in Missouri. I will be hunting this season for the first time... Grew up with a dad who hunted as a kid for food and hated it because it was never fun, it was a chore. So I never hunted, but I want to. I have a friend who is an experienced hunter who is going to show me the ropes.

Any advice? What kind of camo should I look into? Ect.. thanks in advance.

scout the area where you're gonna hunt and look for the pattern that best blends in.

be patient too...you're probably gonna wait a while and let nature get settled in to where you're sitting.

Depends all on the parts your in but here in the middle a realtree AP HD, or advantage timber is fine. Early, early, early is the key.

Got a Turkey this morning. Right about 6:00 am. 24 pounds. 10 1/2 inch beard. 1 1/4 spurs.. probly about 3 and a half years old.

It was picture perfect. It was too easy for my first kill. Beginners luck my buddy told me!
