So, I've only been hunting once in my 45 years on this planet; went duck hunting with my dad once when I was a boy.
But, as an avid motorcyclist, I'm aware of the hazard they cause here in western WA. So, I asked a buddy to take me deer hunting; he wants to hit the late deer hunt on Whidbey Island.
For what it's worth, Whidbey is overrun with deer. I saw a big one in the middle of Coupeville, on 6th Ave, while leaving my buddy's house one day. It just stood there looking at me, while I kept having a "gollum" moment ("...but we wantsss to sshoot it, preciousss... we hasss a glock on our hip, and thossse forty-fiveses isss perfect for deerses") until I kicked the bike into gear and rode off.
And anyway, while doing a google search for "whidbey island deer hunt", I came up with this retort to someone who posted about how bad it is to hunt:
I'm claiming that as sig line once this post is done...
So, I'm looking for suggestions for a brand-new hunter about deer hunting on Whidbey, deer hunting in general, or just plain hunting anything.
Thanks in advance, everyone!

Killing deer is the answer because cooking them while they are still alive would be cruel.
