I've never gone hunting before. But I'd like to start some time. I think "Hunting Wabbit" would be a great place to start. Plenty of meat on them, there are alot of them around, and they are easy to find. I live in Colorado.
So, I've got a few questions. Would it be better to just use a shot gun? Or should I go for a close range head shot with my scoped bolt action .22lr. Also, is there any reason to fear disease from eating rabbit? Do I need to cook it really well, or worry about handling it with gloves or anything silly like that? Also, even though I'm not sure if this forum is the place for it, I'd love to have someone explain to me how to properly skin and gut it... and cook it for that matter. Last thing I need to know is what do I need to make it all legal? Do I have to take a hunters safety coarse? Do I get a small game hunting license? Where is it legal to actually do my hunting? (I live in a suburban area, not lucky enough to be a country man)
Thanx for any help!
