Dirt2,
Thanks for the good response. That's good to know about the hunting magazines. I was thinking of subscribing but maybe I'll hold out for now as we have plenty of toilet paper at our house.
About calling the fish and game guys...Should I just call them up and say "i'm knew to hunting where should I go?" I've looked over the regs pretty carefully and you are right, they are somewhat complicated.
What difference is there between whitetail meat and mule deer meat? Is one better then the other? Why would you hunt whitetails and not muleys or vice versa?
Thanks again for all the responses,
Matt
P.S. Does anyone know of any good books that approach deer hunting from a beginners stand point?
