One way I’m going to get a nice shot is to put out trail cams and see where the deer are moving.…

My parents got me interested in hunting & fishing and hunting became my true passion since my first hunting experience at the age of 9.

I have begun to work with my shooting club to understand the working of a sporting clay and trap club, how competitions…
