that's the thing a lot of guys ideas of hunting are going out and "hunting" aka getting drunk and away from their jobs/wives. Not saying that's how your Inlaws are, maybe they just suck at it lol. Two of the older guys I hunt with are turning into the getting drunk to get away from life, "hunting" types. It's really disapointing, first we have always shared meat and hunted as a group, and those to aren't pulling their weight. the other is they get really annoying when they drink, one of my good friends won't come up now because his son is getting to hunting age and he doesn't want him exposed to that. Its not a cheap hobby but it's very rewarding, with some reading and questions I'm sure you could figure somthing out on your own. An other friend and his father in law when to WY last year hunting antelope did it totally DYI bother ended up with nice antelope. He got all his info from reading online.
