Brand new member here. I'm a latecomer to this world, as I just got my PAL, hunted my first deer, and bought my first rifle in 2014 at 38 years old. I wasn't a stranger to guns, as I'd fired my share of rifles and shotguns when I was young, but I'd never owned one. Old friends of mine have been hunting for many years, but I never gave it much thought until I discovered, and became obsessed with, Steve Rinella's show Meateater.
So last year I got all licensed up, and my friend took me out on my first hunt. Got a nice 4x4 whitetail buck with one shot at about 110 yards, with my buddy's sweet H-S .300 win mag. Got a Ruger 10/22 Takedown for Xmas, for rabbit hunting and general rifle practice. I'll get my own deer rifle this year, and I'm sure I'll be hunting for the rest of my life.
