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

Get familiar in the woods. Just go out and walk and listen. Then go squirrel hunting. You’ll learn to see things and notice animals.

This is sound advice. If you've never been hunting, your eyes aren't trained to see sudden movements by wildlife. Obviously deer are easy to see since they're large game, but squirrels and rabbits will be near and you won't notice right away.

My cousin used to ask how we could pick out squirrels in trees 60 to 70yds away just by looking in that direction. Your eyes get used to seeing things aren't natural in the woods. Squirrel hunting is where it's at. Best eating game Imo and it makes you better at hunting all game.
