...but would like to learn about how to go about it.
I have never hunted before. My family is not exactly filled with hunters, or pro-gun type folk. Overall, they are slightly pro-hunting, however that doesn't mean any of them taught me anything. I learned to shoot on my own (mostly) and became involved in the RKBA side of gun ownership years ago. However, shooting at a range and lobbying for rights isn't hunting. I am pretty much a blank slate here, regarding hunting.
I have a rather limited understanding of TN laws regarding hunting. I know that the rifles I am considering to use are legal (either a 1903a3, or 24/47 Mauser).
I do not know any rules/regs about hunting other than: Must keep less than 5 rounds in the gun.
Background aside, where is a good place to learn about the laws I have to comply with? Is there a place I can read basic hunter ethics? (I read Field and Stream, and another outdoor mag, but somehow I think magazines are going to lack something). What about other equipment? I would guess an extra pair of socks, a snack, water, something to kill time with that doesn't make noise maybe, and an orange vest (already have that though).
What else have I not considered? What else should I know?
