Well, the title pretty much describes it. I bought my first gun about 2 months ago because I wanted to see if I have been missing something all these years. Boy, have I!! I took it out to the range that first week and fell in love. Since then, I have read everything i could find about shooting and hunting, and I have learned alot. But When I tried my hand in hunting, I did not fare well. I have been out three times, with no luck. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I truly love beening afeild. The peacefulness and serenity is more than worth the hike. It would just be nice if I could bring home some fruits from my journeys. The first problem I am having is finding them. I have been going to overgrown feilds, divided habitats (where a feild meets a forest) and the edges of corn feilds. In my three times out, I have only seen a single rabbit. this is my main problem. Am I looking in the wrong spots? and if not, I must be approching it wrong. I wear all earthtones (tan pants, a camo hat, and a blaze orange vest). Now, I am of the larger persuasion (I'm 6' and 280lbs.) so stealth might be a part of my problem. ANY tips would be helpful and appreciated. And even better, if there is anyone that is local that wouldn't mind showing a new guy the ropes, i would be greatky in your debt.
