re: Embarrassed about this, but can you start hunting later in life?

Ok..Here you go.

You live not that far from the best "starter" deer hunting area in the USA....

Texas Hill Country

Check with the Chamber of Commerce in the counties in the Hill Country area. (Google Texas Hill Country) There is lots and lots of deer and many land owners will "Day Hunt" their property. Some will guide you, also. It's not that far of a drive from where you live and you can drive over in the off season and look around. Since we live in the "internet" era, you should be able to find a few hunters websites in your area kinda like Tiger Droppings. Join them and you can present your case for learning to hunt, just as you did here.... You will find many who would be happy to assist, just like here.


You live a couple of hours from the best deer hunting area in Texas... Take advantage of it and GOOD LUCK.
