Dear God, don't go hunting. Hunting is not about killing pretty animals or ugly animals. If you want to find out if you have what it takes to kill something, get a goldfish. If you look at wild animals as pets then you probably shouldn't hunt.
No animal puts up much of a fight against guns. Hell if you want something to fight back then hunt hogs with a pocket knife. Now that would be a more even fight. Hogs are not easy game on public land. They are often very difficult to hunt as they quickly dissappear in to the palmettos. I have hunted hogs in Florida for a little while and it is not a pleasent venture.
Hunting over a baited station with a guide there to tell you what and when to shoot and then clean and package your kill for you is more like shopping with a rifle. It may be fun if you don't know any better, but it ain't hunting.
I don't want to push anyone away from the sport, but you really need to ask yourself if you want the work involved or are you just curious as to the kill. I don't have moral issues when it comes to animals. Go kill something. Get it out of the way. Then if you still want to "hunt" then find a friend willing to show you around the local WMA's. Check out
www.myfwc.com for local WMA's around the Tampa area. Go out there now without a gun and see if you can find game animals. Watch them eat and travel. Learn what it takes to sneak around in the woods in Florida.
Hogs aren't going to kill you. If they do, just call me and I will pay the furneral cost.
If you like walking around the woods and spending time in nature then you can give hunting a try. Remeber to be realistic. Get up 2 hours before sunrise. Pack a lot of stuff in a backpack. Fix a sandwich and get plenty of water and go spend the whole day walking through the swamps and palmetto and pine flats. Enjoy the mosquitos and gnats and biting flies. Enjoy the heat on the mid-day. Stay out until it is dark then walk back to your vehicle in the dark, dead tired and wet up to your waist from taking a wrong step in the swamp. That's the joy of hunting, not killing a ugly hog.
