I am interested in deer hunting this season for the first time. Any ideas in how to get started, i.e. safety, regulation, practice, resources, etc... I have a cousin who has hunted for years that has volunteered to take me and get me started, but I would like to do as much homework as I can. Also, any random tips or insights would be welcomed. Thanks.
I'll do like I always do and day dream about what it must be like to have someplace decent to hunt while those I work with turn vacation time into tasty venison.
Then I'll go to the grocery store and buy food.
i will NEVER hunt public land.. last time i hit missinewa reservoir, and it was like world war 3 had broken loose. heard slugs hitting trees and all the like. bunch of FREAKS up there that enjoy shooting at shadows before sunrise. well.. at least before the half hour prior to sunrise.
