RE: First Time Hunter
Not to sound discouraging, but you have picked one of THE toughest animals to hunt. I would suggest staying with the small game, and maybe trying your hand at some deer hunting this coming fall. You have got a lot to learn, so find someone that can teach you proper gun handling and woodsman skills. The foundation should be firm for you to learn and enjoy the great outdoors. I learned most of what I know by reading magazines, getting out and observing what worked and what didn't and why, and over the course of 18 years have read almost 1,000 magazines. They are a great source of info.
