I said the same thing last year. After going out once with a guy from huntingpa.com I started going out alone for small game. He had showed me the ropes as far as procedures etc, what to look for. I had the pleasure of hunting with his dog Molly, she got me my first pheasant ever. I had gotten more and more comfortable as time went by. I think I ended up going out 1-2 days a week for the duration of the season (a lot for me, working full time m-f) I got one Pheasant, took a few shots at a rabbit and a couple other birds and missed. I still had a great time. I ended up going with my boss twice for deer. He bagged his buck on a day I had to stay late to get a project out the door ... go figure right? The next day I had a shot at a doe I should have taken but was new/unsure so I didn't. No matter how little I saw or how much I saw I still I had a great time just getting out there.

Not that I'm remotely closed to a seasoned hunter but if you are interested I'd be happy to meet up with you sometime and talk about getting out. What were you looking to hunt? I hunt a lot of the public land for small game in Chester/Montgomery County. It can get pretty busy sometimes but it is still a good time.

Also if you get your doe tag for 5c you can hunt until mid-late Jan
