Do you have any friends that hunt? Maybe one of them can take you hunting and let you borrow a gun. I had a friend growing up that I took hunting all the time. His own dad was a big deer hunter but would never take him. What an ass. I would let him borrow a .22 or .410 and we would go squirrel hunting. Even when my friend got older, his dad would hardly ever take him hunting. My friend probably would have become an avid deer hunter if it were not for his dad. He wanted to go hunting with his dad, but the ***hole wouldn't take him. My dad would take me squirrel hunting when I was a kid, but he didn't deer, duck, or turkey hunt. I picked up on those on my own. I am definately a self taught hunter.

Just an idea, but when you are in school, try to become friends with guys who do hunt. Tell someone about your situation. It sounds like the only way you are going to get a chance to start hunting now is to go with a friend. Maybe one of your friends is a friend of someone who hunts. He can introduce you to him. Good luck and I hope you are able to go hunting this Fall. If you do, you will be hooked for life.

Where are you from? Try to find an organization that does mentorship hunts in your area. There are a lot of programs out there to get young people into hunting.Plenty of people wouldbe more than willing to help you out.

Hi,

Curtis gave you good info. COA should be able to get you set up. They have spots in the youth hunts where you can "Borrow" and adult to help you hunt.

Im somewhat in the same boat. I have friends that hunt, i just dont own my own gun yet. Come deer season here, I should have one... hopefully... crossing my fingers.

Everyone else has given great advice. Try to find some friends that like to hunt.
