Thanks for your input i am a completly hunting stupid so any advice would be great. I have been reading magazines and watching hunting shows.
No worries.
I was in your situation and actually took up hunting very late. If you grow up in a city, in a non-hunting family, your opportunities are very limited (mine were). It really is a sport where it helps a lot to have someone introduce you to it. In my case it was my father-in-law.
You can get all your questions answered, but things are a lot easier if you have a friend you can tag along with. You'll make one pretty quickly as you get into the sport. I have several new friends now since taking it up.
Is your intent to hunt with a rifle, bow, or shotgun (slugs)?
