Rookie Hunter needs advice
Hey Guys,
Congrats on the website, I have been deer hunting since 2 weeks now and I'm learning everyday with all the threads, tips, etc...this is great information.
I'm currently hunting with a shotgun (12 Gage) but it does not belong to me, I wanted to make sure I like deer hunting before I invest money. Of course I got hooked and I'm completely addicted. I hunted the last three days mornings and evenings and I'm planning on going out again around thanks giving. I have seen deers but haven't killed anything yet.
For next season I would like to buy some descent equipment, most likely a gun and a bow. I would like to spend less than 800-1000$ on a complete bow set and around 500-600$ on a gun.
Here are my questions now:
- What should I get ? Brand and Model
- Should I spend less money on a bow and get a shotgun and a muzzle loader to cover both season ? (Indiana)
- Get a nice muzzle loader to cover both seasons ?
- What kind of scope ? for which guns ?
- Other thoughts ? Spend more money ? Less money ? I'm flexible
Thanks a lot for your time and have fun out there !
