Yeah, that’s another issue. I don’t know now to field dress a deer, nor do I know what to bring to pack it out. I’m not even sure I’ll enjoy hunting in the first place. I know my way around a gun (took my SO to a range on a date), but shooting a living animal is another matter entirely.
So I’m planning to go jackrabbit hunting first. They’re a nuisance animal, not good for eating (so no need to field dress), I can use a small caliber (SO doesn’t have experience with larger guns), and they’re everywhere. If I like that, I’ll ask around to find a hunting buddy.
I don’t know about the difference between a jackrabbit and a rabbit but rabbit jambalaya was sent from the gods. If you’re not hunting them for game why not hit em with the shotty. Super fun to shoot and you can teach quick lessons on how to hold it right because it usually only takes one shot holding it wrong.
