I am currently looking at places to Hunt.
WMA's, and National Forest.
Howdo i go about choosing a place to hunt? I would prefer a place where my inexperince wouldn't pose a problem for the more experinced hunters around me.For exampleincroching on others hunting areas.

Where can i learn to field dress a deer? Are you required to before taking it to the place to have it processed?

Where can i go to practice with my rifle? Most gun ranges do not have faclitys for rifle practice.

How does a Hunting lease work?

Anything else yall can think of would be greatly appricated.

i'm not sure which state you are wanting this information for but if you locate your local game commission's web site....it should have all your states W.M.A's on it with all the info for each W.M.A.

i would rather teach hunting on private land/lease. however if your like me and do not have access to private hunting land or can't afford a lease...W.M.A.'s aren't a terrible place to learn. the only drawback is the over crowding of some W.M.A.'s. just make sure to where orange and be aware of other hunters.

i 'm not sure of a web site to teach you about field dressing. i learned from my father.

i dunno about your area but we have a public gun range that has a max distance of 100 yards. if you can't find a place like this, find someone with a chunk of property that will grant you access to shoot.

leases are basically you renting land to hunt. sometimes someone organizes a hunt club on leased land. they will pay the land owner for the hunting rights and divide that amount up between however many people he wants in the club. once a club is formed, the organizer (club president) can set ground rules for harvest limits and sizes on game. even though it may be legal to shoot a small buck by law, the club rule may be it must have a certain number of "points" on each side of the rack. if it is violated, a club fine may be issued or they may be kicked out of the club.
