Boy that's a long list. Have you ever hunted with a shotgun before? If not get some practice first. Get familiar with your equipment before going out hunting. Get a single shot or a pump action first so that you can practice making the shoots count. Pattern your shotgun with different loads. You'll need some camo clothing. Join a gun club and ask for areas to go hunting. Make sure to know the rules and regulations for the area you would be hunting. Keep checking this website. You'll get good tips from some of the guys on this website and good luck.
