I had beginners luck. I killed a spring gobbler and a nice buck, both in my second year of trad hunting. That was four years ago and I haven't killed anything since. You guys/gals who're waiting on your first harvest, hang in there! I'm so amazed at people like Wannabe1 and Ron w. Your patience and persistence is admirable. I wish you all the best of luck this year and in future years. Your commitment stick & string is a difficult endeavor, but it will make your future success all the more sweet!
