Newby looking for help

Anyone out there that would care o help a newby out learning the rope on where and how is the best way to hunt public land.

I'll help with anything I can, fire away with any questions.

Where are some of the best places for a beginner to start.And do you know where I could meet someone to team up with and hunt.

1- Where do you live?
2- There's nothing wrong with having a hunting buddy, but become self reliant too. Just in case.
3- Do you have any public land in your area, that you have scouted/hunted before?
4- http://mapper.acme.com/
Start your scouting sessions from the comfort of your home, with an online map. Survey possible "A.O.I.'s (areas of interest), and make notes. This great way to maximize your scouting time.
5- You can call me, anytime, we will get you setup! 304-590-5623
Sometimes it's easier to talk than try to type stuff.

I live in Lake Jackson about 50 mile south of Houston. That is one of my questions where is the closes public land to me.

Here ya go!

Trout,

Your best bet with your location would be to hunt the Sam Houston National Forest. This is my 3rd season hunting there. lots of areas to hunt and they have two bow-only areas.
There is a forum on Texasbowhunters.com where alot of us communicate about hunting the SHNF. I live about 20 minutes from the SHNF so if you want to meet up to scout some time let me know.

Where is the Sam National forest located? I'm stationed in San Antonio, TX. Do they have turkeys?

Its about 50 miles north of Houston on Interstate 45. No turkeys there though
