The easiest way is to call your game and fish department. They can give you all the info you need. For deciding on what hunting type you want to start with you should choose what will fit best. Deer hunting will take more time and patience and is usually done with one other person or alone. Duck hunting is quicker and is better with friends, I would say deer hunting is more exciting when you bag one. So deer hunting is slower, solo or another person while hunting, a lot less shooting, more patience required, and more challenging but its very exciting. Duck hunting is faster, you won't be doing hiking etc but in a blind or someplace covered, and you do in groups, and more shooting. Both are really fun!
