Default RE: never hunted before...

Theres so much buddy. You don't need a license until you are 16, im pretty sure. Thats how it is in SC. Depending on your size, I would buy/borrow a .243 or a .270. Since your 14, I'd use a gun with a little less recoil unless you are a big kid. Savage arms has great rifles for a great value/cost. Look into it. (Or you could get a bow). Also, get camo that mimics your environment. I wouldn't recommend getting duck camo like Max-4 when your hunting spring turkey. Max-4 is a mixture of marsh grasses, and turkey camo is primarily a woodsie green camo. Where do you live: North, South, West? Buy camo that will keep you comfortable and is convenient. If you hunt the Southeast, its going to be a little warmer, so don't buy a brand like ArticShield, which is made for extreme cold. If I wanted to tell you everything, I'd never stop typing. Look into joining a local hunting club, and talk to other people that hunt. The only way you're going to learn is through experience.
