RE: never hunted
I would also suggest that you do a search on the net for forums and message boards in the State of TX.... Try to find folks around the Houston, TX area , and make friends with them. Explain your situation, and perhaps you might meet a few people willing to help you out. Be it Bow or Gun hunting, a lot of guys would be willing to mentor someone, and introduce them to the sport. And when they get to know you, may let you borrow a gun or bow, or maybe help you to get one... There are a lot of possibilities..... and I know that here in Arkansas, we have several state websites, and I belong to one where I have found several other hunters around where I live... If I lived near you, I would help you out myself.... Be creative, and put a little effort into it... People are more willing to help, if you are willing to do some of the legwork yourself.
God Bless
