First off, welcome to the board! If I were you, I would find a good hunting buddy, and start looking around for public land that is open to hunters. Call your wildlife office. Then, see if you can meet some people that might have connections to private land, and go from there. Maybe offer to do some work for a farmer in exchange for hunting privileges. Then, get some warm clothes, and you are set in my book!

I think the best way to go about finding a hunting place is...SCOUT!! Find out where the birds are going. If you have a wildlife refuge near you, it might help. I hunt a marsh very near to a refuge, and if birds are determined not to land anywhere but in the refuge, i still get a few shots at birds going in and out of the refuge. Thats really all i have to say, good luck!!
