mmoore+FollowStarted hunting at 35 because God told me to teach my kidsDad never hunted but I felt called to learn this skill for my family. Spent months watching Hunting Public videos, took all the courses, then my brother took me out for my first whitetail. Now four years later, I've helped two of my kids get their first deer too. We've branched out—grouse, geese, pheasants, even some snaring. Still learning every season. Problem now is finding new spots since our go-to grouse roads keep getting developed. Need better rabbit and duck locations too, don't want to pressure our deer spots. Amazing how this journey started as teaching my kids but they're teaching me just as much. What got you started hunting—family tradition or something else calling you to it? #Hunting #TeachingKids #FamilyHunting #WhitetailHunting #GrouseHunting442Share
paulcarol+FollowMule deer turned me into a real hunter Grew up hunting big woods whitetails in Eastern forests - tracking through endless hardwoods was my passion. When I moved to Montana, I honestly looked down on mule deer. Saw them casually grazing by the river like livestock and thought they'd be boring compared to my crafty Eastern bucks. Boy was I wrong. First season hunting muleys completely changed me as a hunter. These aren't your backyard deer - they migrate 50+ miles, deal with mountain lions daily, and vanish into terrain that'll test everything you've got. No tree stands or trail cams here, just boots, glass, and pure hunting instinct. Now when I see whitetails, I barely glance their way. Mule deer hunting gets back to what hunting should be - raw, challenging, and earned. Anyone else make the switch from whitetails to muleys? #hunting #muledeerhunting #whitetailhunting #Outdoors 5411Share
