I had a feeling some good stuff would come out on this thread. Thank you all for sharing. Some of this wisdom will probably take time and probably some bad experiences for me to absorb.

While a newbie, the one thing learned this year, is that anyone can make a hunt happen. One must just do it. Too many years have gone by in my life wanting to hunt and letting what really amounted to some pretty minor obsticles and misinformation stand in my way.
