Hi SCH my name is Sam and im completely new to hunting. I'm also new to bows, but that is the tool I have chosen to use as a beginner. I've shot a recurve when I was 13 and I loved it. Figured I'd love it now as well. I've been a lurker on the site now for about 2 weeks. Doing research and getting questions I had answered. I am trying to do things as right as possible. I do want to add that I did have a question like so many other new hunters witch was if there are any hunting groups in SD. I found the NWTF SD chapter. I'm looking forward to going to the next meeting. Hopefully I will have my bow by then. I want to thank Ilovesprig, as most of my questions have been answered by him in his posts. I am still in the market for a bow, but have a few I'm interested in. I do have questions on bows but I think I'll put that in another thread(this one's getting long ). I look forward to learning a lot from the seasoned vets on here and i wanna say GL and be safe to those who go out hunting. Cheers!
 
Sam,

Welcome to SCH......Questions are how you learn and in many cases, stay out of trouble...... ;)
 
Welcome to SCH Sam. There is a wealth of info on this website and forum!
 
Thx Ilovesprig and NBK! I did learn pretty quick not to ask hunting spots, lol. I've been doing a lot of research on the legalities of hunting aswell. Like you said Ilovesprig, I don't need any trouble. Gonna pick a BLM of CNF so I know the where and not to be. One question I just thought of is say I down a tom, I assume not to field dress the turkey on the spot, but where would be a good area to do the "dirty work"?
 
I clean my birds at home.....Legally, the bird must be identifiable.....Be it a bearded hen or bearded tom.
