I haven't been hunting before, but I want to give it a go this year. Looking at mainly deer and boar, but i'll cook up and try anything, so anything that's legal is fair game once.
I was thinking of getting a mosin nagant or 2 for the job during general gun season. When I was looking at all the regs, a lot of the WMAs allow boar hunting during small game season, but no centerfire rifles. I'm going to start looking around for a 44 mag revolver for that, figure with enough time I should be able to unearth a deal. Other option would be slugs out of a shotgun. Not sure what would be better in that case.
Any advice you can offer a noob getting started? I already had the pleasure of going through the state's hunter safety course. A lot of good info that I wouldn't have thought of, like never cross a fence with a loaded gun. But really they told us what not to do to stay safe, and I'm still a bit lacking in what to do to have a successful hunt.
