I'm 57 and have not yet bagged a turkey or deer. Now that my kids are gone I can follow up on my interests which is getting back to the woods. As a child I hunted frogs and cans with my "Red Rider" and later in high school squirrels and rabbits with my uncles "Remington Nylon". Now I have my own firearms and want to take up the sport up again. Not as easy as it used to be when I was a kid. A few years ago I got an opportunity to go out twice on a turkey hunt but fox was only thing within shooting range and was not on menu. A couple seasons ago I spent 3 days at a co-workers cabin in the UP of Michigan. Sat in blind pre-dawn to dusk and never spotted anything with fur and four legs. Fortunately my friend got his two. I loved it though, I was never as much alert as sitting alone in deer blind watching, listening, glassing, and hoping for that one brief moment for opportunity at getting a deer. (Only a hunter can appreciate the excitement one can get from anticipation and solitude). Problem is I need help, I am seeking hunting opportunities; either as part of a group with opening to add another hunter, perhaps a landowner who's land I can lease, rent, barter for hunting. I live in NW Indiana (Valparaiso) but will drive and make accommodations as necessary to spend a day or few days to hunt. I have or will procure everything necessary to go solo. I should add my certificate in field stripping is from You Tube U. I consider actually performing the task an initiation to having right of calling myself a "Hunter". If anyone has or knows of an opportunity I can follow up on I would appreciate your lead. I will provide any info needed to judge my character or worthiness to fit in to your group.

, whining, fussing, etc. we often forget how cool of a place INGO actually is. Some of my best friendships in recent years have developed from meeting INGOers.
