How 2 hunt? (in Texas)
I have a lot of firearms practice, pretty confident in 100 yards, 200 is good, beyond that is..eh, not a lot of practice.
I know I need a hunting license, and have to take an online course.... But what then? My current questions?
Where/when do I go?
Is it okay to hunt alone?
How do I not get shot by other hunters?
Where do I shoot the deer?
How do I lug that big animal back to my car?
Do I need to clean and skin the deer right after the kill? or do I just take it to a processor?
How many can you get? It seems low, but why?
Do I need a blind, or feed/bait? I'd rather learn tracking skills and whatnot, but will do whatever is best.
Why do most places not allow Buckshot? its in the name...
What would be best? or should I just go buy a Mossberg Patriot? would an M1A do? been considering one anyway.
I have a 12 Gauge shotgun (mossberg 590), a magnum revolver (model 19), various other hanguns, and a AR15(BRN-16A1, with 4x optic). I will happily use one of those if they suffice.
Sorry for the inexperience. Nobody in my family hunts, so I don't know who to ask these things.
