Dang! That kind of tip right there will save you alot of trouble and mistakes. Great opportunity to learn more in a day than you will in a year by trial and error.

 

If you don't take the offer from Bucknut you are missing a good opportunity. If you go into it ready and willing to learn you will get farther and faster than trying to teach yourself.

 

X2, that is a very nice gesture. U better take advantage.

 

Take him up on the offer I'm self taught with a few tips here and there and it will save a lot up errors. I'm on my 60th whitetail and have it done close but not quite as good as I want... This will make you better faster!!!!!!
