Hunting resources

Looking for some good resources (sites, youtube channels, forums etc.) about hunting. Also any recommendations on books about hunting for a beginner?

Which TV series about hunting do you follow?

I'm a novice hunter and would love to immerse myself into this beautiful sport but I only know about /out/ and /r/hunting on reddit.

Thanks!

The same way every hunter learns to hunt: from other hunters.

Which is hard if no one you know hunts and you're trying to start a tradition.

Why the fuck do you even need a gun, faggot. Go satisfy your caveman violence urges with video games or something, you pussy.

Is it more manly to go buy dead animals that someone else killed for you at the supermarket?

Look online at your local DNR website. They will have a handbook to download that will give you all the details you will NEED to know about hunting.

Some other steps might include:

Getting your firearms safety certificate.

Finding a game you want to harvest. (Small Game, Large Game, Waterfowl)

Finding areas to hunt in. (Public Land and Wildlife Management Areas work best)

Finding the right tools for the right job. (Completely situational on what you want to hunt)

Your best bet is to stop being a beta about it and go into any hunting supply retailer (Gander MT, Bass Pro, Any gun store) and just ask people. The only thing hunters don't want to talk about is their favorite spots other than that most hunters would love to help someone who wants to find their ways.

Lol at this guy. I'm an animal rights/envrionmental studies major, and you have no idea what you're talking about.

Also, no well formulated argument has ever started with shit smearing, incoherent yelling and recycled memes/verbiage. How about you actually go talk to a real hunter or read a book

Why would you need or want a scope on a shotgun? Even with slugs.

They do make shorter range scopes. Plus, a rifled barrel with sabot slugs can be exceptionally accurate.

not a scope. red dot sight. makes aiming easier, has a better sight picture than open sights.

Can I shoot a deer that comes on my own land out of season and without a permit? Gotta eat.

In the right gun, in the right hands, slugs are good to 200 yards. I'm personally confident enough to shoot out to 100 with them. At those ranges, a 4x scope isn't unreasonable.

No. Wildlife are considered a resource that belongs to everyone, it's not yours if it's on your land. You can only hunt in season, after buying a license, period.

The one exception I can think of is if you are a farmer and apply for a nuisance permit, which may or may not be a thing in your state.

I hope to God you're a vegan. Because if you ain't, i'm gonna forcibly insert you into a dead pig.

Hell, i'd happily do that if you ARE a vegan.

Run, vegan boy, run!

This. This is my first year hunting and all of the folks I have professed my noobness to at hunting stores have been nothing but helpful and really supportive.
