Getting started hunting, a beginner’s guide

[Mothough]

Never hunted? Don’t worry, it’s not as complicated as it may appear at first glance. Hunting rules can be intimidating to a novice because they’re so comprehensive. The following hunting tips were submitted by hunters who through experience learned a valuable lesson.
Hunting for beginners. It seems like a subject, however there's plenty to be told for any hunter and therefore the education method never ends. when trying to find decades, i am still learning. However we have a tendency to all have to be compelled to begin somewhere--so beginner hunters, start here.
I'll do my best to advise you well, however if you're a hunter who began hunting as an adult, your experience may be terribly valuable to others. Please feel free to contact me and let let me know if there is something particular that I even have overlooked, that worked for you.
The hunting season isn't the time for a beginner to started hunting. You would like to start out the wheels in motion well before it is time to get out there and hunt. Once you do go abroad, you wish to be already educated to the extent potential and familiar to your chosen instrumentality. Spend some months before season learning how to use the stuff you will be taking with you and practicing together with your gun or bow.

What you need?
A hunting license. A license alone permits you to hunt several species, significantly small game and lots of upland game birds. For example, a license is all you wish for cottontail rabbits, forest grouse, California and bobwhite quail, grey partridge, pheasant and more. Hunting turkeys, that is popular for beginners, needs a separate tag that may be purchased at the same places you get licenses.

What about hunter education?
If you were born on or after Jan. 1, 1975, you are required to pass a hunter-education course, except for one-time participation in the Hunting Passport program. Hunter-education courses are available through classroom instruction and online courses.

Why should I try hunting?
Hunting is about much more than killing animals. It’s spending time in their environment and intensively learning about wildlife through observation. You will experience nature on a deeper level when hunting, and probably come away with a greater appreciation for the animals you’re hunting.
Hunting is often a team effort, which makes it a very social activity in which all members of the family can participate. If nothing else, it’s a great opportunity to get outdoors during beautiful times of year and get into places you might otherwise not go unless you were hunting.
What if I decide I don’t want to shoot an animal? There’s no shame in it. When you get close enough to an animal to make that decision, it will be a very exhilarating and rewarding experience regardless of whether you pull a trigger or release an arrow. That experience is what attracts people to hunting and keeps several of them following it for a lifetime.

ENJOY!
Get out there and enjoy yourself. I think you'll find that hunting is one of the very best ways to spend time. It will provide you with a better understanding of (and a greater appreciation for) wildlife and how animals live in the wild and a deeper appreciation for all types of life. It will also help you stay more in touch with your roots--hunting is natural and has been a part of human life and existence ever since Adam and Eve were booted out of Eden. There's no shame in honoring that long, rich hunting heritage.

So nice of you to show up and use your very first post to claim that you are the authority to go to know all about hunting and plug your website. Try facebook.

Holy cow! I never would have the audacity to assume I have enough wisdom to tell people here how to hunt, much less to think I could teach ya'll. Checked out the web site. Looks like he does the same there, passing on his own opinion on many things firearm related. I guess we're supposed to trust him because he has a web site. Don't work for me!

[runfiverun]

it's a copy and paste from another website.

I'm fairly sure he means well.

[Beerd]

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt until I see his future posts.
After that there is always the "Ignore" button.

and the launch button.

I hope he means well. In fact, we do need to promote hunting for this next generation. If they don't take it up, future decisions on hunting / guns / bows / knives / BB guns / etc. will be made by some of the bonehead types we differ with now. His post does rub me the wrong way, however. I don't like to be preached to by folks who think they are better than me. Now, ........... those who are in fact better than me, that's a different story. I'm just a hard case to convince that anybody can do that.
Welcome aboard.

Empty vessels make the most noise.

like kicking a can down the street at 2 a.m

[ammohead]

I'm fairly sure he means well.

So does Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.

Maybe if he had come to the site and offered conversation first. But to wade right in on post #1 implying that the only thing we have to offer him is a visit to his site sticks in my craw. And so far it is his one and only post. Bugger off!

Monitors....really?

I agree with ammohead 100 percent on this. BS is BS. JW

[runfiverun]

fair enough.

this is probably the only post we will see from him anyway.
