Hey guys
I hope that everyone is well
I have spent approximately 9months doing target shooting work now, refining my “marksman skills”, understanding the fundamentals of shooting and rifles etc
And now that I am an “okay shot” (just okay)
I would like to get into hunting very soon
However,
I don't know the 1st thing about hunting
I have never gone hunting before
So please school me on hunting
How does it work exactly?
#1
Is it just a matter of driving up to a state forest?
#2
Are there designated tracks there in state forests that you can just drive on once you get there?
#3
If you are driving on a designated track in a state forest and you see an area that looks promising, is it then just a matter of parking your car near the track and then getting out of your car to explore the area? Looking for game? Is that how it works?
#4
Do I need a four-wheel drive to drive on the tracks of the state forests?
Do I need a four-wheel drive to gain access into state forests?
(I’m guessing I do)
#5
The “More to Explore” app recommended by Game Management Authority, is it 100% accurate in terms showing you exactly where hunting is definitely 100% permissible? Is it 100% reliable? Or is there some other sort of web site or list that tells you exactly which state forests definitely allow hunting?
Or is it just a given that
ALL state forests allow hunting?
#6
Where else can we actually hunt other than state forests?
Is there a difference between "State Forests" and "Crown Land"?
And what about "State Game Reserves" ?
Is that right that we can hunt there if we're licensed for duck hunting during open duck season?
Please note;
- I do not have access to private property yet
(Hence why I'm looking at State Forests)
- Sorry about sounding ignorant
(I've been gone hunting before)
Thanks guys
I hope someone can help me with my questions
I can't wait to get into hunting!
