Hello everyone,

I'm 28 years old and I've never hunted before. My father wasn't into it and I simply never learned. Now that I have a son of my own (3 years old), I want to be able to do this kind of thing with him when he gets a little older. While I'm new to hunting I'm not new to guns, and I'm a decent shot, but it's the actual hunting part that is holding me up.

So my question is, how should I go about learning to hunt?

I have no idea exactly where to hunt in NC. If it's public land, I assume they don't provide stands for you to sit in, so I guess you have to stalk them?

I've never field dressed an animal, but want to be able to go from the kill to the freezer on my own.

Any help would be great. Thanks!
