Hey guys,
Long story short I'm from Michigan originally but have lived in Indy since 2010. My parents actually divorced when I was 2 and I had little contact with my father. This means I didn't really grow up doing some of the things I always wanted to like going hunting. So now I'm 30 years old and with a 2 year old of my own and figured it's time to figure some of this stuff out before he is old enough to garner an interest so we can do these things I missed out on together.
At present I want to start with small, mostly nuisance predators like coyotes, gray fox and boar. The reason why is because I own and maintain an AR-15 5.56 that I love dearly but am tired of just slugging paper with. I would love to be able to find some people who would be interested in assisting a hunting novice and perhaps go out together and hunt year-round non-regulated animals. I would like to do it this way because I already have the investments in firearms that would make this possible; and I figured starting small would only aid me as I look to eventually move to deer. Plus Michigan actually allows hunting Deer in 5.56 but there is no way I would feel comfortable attempting that until I was both comfortable with hunting and my aim; (I know enough to know shooting stationary paper at the range and shooting outside at ranged animals are two different things).
I live on the south side of Indianapolis but am willing to travel through the state to do this. Anyone interested in instilling their knowledge in a new hunter? Thanks!
