I have never hunted in my life, but even I know a few basics about deer hunting. (correct me if I'm wrong)
- You put a tree stand in a forest somewhere a few weeks before hunting day?
- You try to mask your scent while you sit up on your perch waiting (hoping) the critters will wander by?
- Then you *poink* 'em with a .22 type rifle since the meat is ruined when too many shotgun pellets are in it?
I think I learned all this just from looking at a hunting catalog once.
- You either get a tree stand or stalk the woods on foot. You can also join up with other hunters and do a 'drive'.
- Some people mask, others don't give a damn.
-.22 rifles are too small to legally use on deer. Some states allow .223, but others require larger, more powerful rounds. Also, some states only allow shotguns due to terrain / population density /etc.
