RE: cheapest way to start hunting.
Even if you already have the gun, I'd say its impossible! Here the licences,and box of bullets, with a Type II public land permit will be over 100.00!Don't forget to throw in some gas money for a scouting trip or two, at least! Youwon't be very successful if you just grab a gun, throw on a jacket, and walk off into strange woods!Some states may well be cheaper than Texas, but I doubt that any states are that much cheaper.
