Closing The Gap
New member
Here's my issue. I am 40 years old and grew up in a strictly anti gun/hunting family. I however always kept a BB gun in my fort near the creek to kill soda cans and the like with. Once I was old enough I started shooting with firearms. Ive since been married and have 2 sons. My wife and sons all enjoy the hobby of shooting together and love to head out to a range or impromptu plinking session on state game or BLM land as often as possible. We now own a number of pistols, rifles and shotguns. But up until this point the only animals theyve killed are self healing and/or clay...
Recently we have decided that we would like to start learning to hunt and provide for ourselves in that manner. We will most likely start with small game and go from there. The trouble is other than taking the state mandatory hunters safety course before acquiring a license, we have no idea what we are doing or where to go from there. Any suggestions on a way for us to all learn together? Good resources for information for the new hunter? What weapon/ammo for what type of game, tactics etc..?
Thanks in advance for any info and help you provide. My user name was thought of with this very subject in mind.
