Ask some local ranchers or land owners if you can hunt on there land. Some will have a sign in box for block management.

Make you have a partner going with you and then get things ready. Make sure you have camo and jackets if its cold, hiking boots and you absolutely need an orange vest! Purchase ammo at your local store.

Looking Is Important

Binoculars are a must when hunting. Look around for the animal you are looking for.

Stalking

If you see the animal you are hunting for make sure you are downwind. You can crouch down and walk slow to get where you are wanting to shoot. Then when you are close start to army crawl.

Shooting

When you are where you want to shoot pick out which one you want to shoot. Click the safety off when ready to shoot then aim. Make sure it is broadside. Aim just behind the shoulder. Aim and squeeze the trigger at the same time. It will fire. Make sure you hit the animal and always jack another shell in. If it is wounded try to make it stop and shoot again.

Find the Animal and Gut It
