Good for you! I bet you have a great time.

Hunting is much more successful, and fun, when you have several people cooperating.

Deer will have favorite spots where they like to live. Spend a lot of time scouting, and/or talking with the locals to locate some of these spots.

Most critters we like to hunt have very sensitive noses. With the wind at your back, you'll have a hard time finding anything.

Your 35 Rem is quite capable, but I think you'll want to limit your shots to 150 yards or so. It throws a pretty good slug, but not very fast.

There is absolutely nothing like being on a hunt. My wife asks why I don't just go tromping around in the woods with the guys, instead of trying to shoot something. It's an entirely different experience, and hard to explain.
