So I didn't grow up with anybody to take me hunting. But I've decided that it would be a useful skill to know and would be a good thing to have in my belt for potential difficult times ahead. Plus it'd be nice to have the extra meat.
I've never been hunting before, but I decided that I'm going to start small, and go after some squirrels or rabbits. Work my way up to deer next season (if I can find a place to go)
I need to find a place to go yet, but I've got some friends who know places to hunt small game.
I'll have my trusty 10/22 rifle, my Morakniv Companion knife, and some binoculars.
I've been watching YouTube videos on how to field dress and gut squirrels and rabbits, as well as how to prepare them.
My questions are: what tips/tricks can you guys share with me for a beginner hunter? Any gear suggestions? Any hunting/stalking tips? Anything at all that I should know?
I really wish I had family members or family friends to teach me this stuff, but I'm 37 years old now, and if I don't make it happen, it never will on its own. Anything you guys could add would be valuable insight!
