Hi,

I have wanted to start hunting for quite some time now and finally I will be moving somewhere where it's actually possible (Scotland).

So after reading a bunch about it it seems that there are 2 popular things to hunt here:

1. Deer
2. Birds

My gut says it's more fun to hunt deer, as it's more of a "real animal". But bird hunting might be better to start with?

I am a beginner. Have never hunted nor do I know anyone who has ever hunted.

Which kind of hunting would you start with, and what kind of rifle should I buy?

I know that with a Shotgun, I could potentially hunt both deer and birds. With a rifle, I can only hunt deer.

Any tips welcomed.
