Top Tips on How to Get into Hunting - Other

So you have watched Deer Hunter 20 times, played Duck Hunter on the original Nintendo to exhaustion and you fancy having a go at doing some real hunting, but have no idea how to begin. The call of the wild is a strong one and there are not many people who when pressed will admit to having a slight interest in experiencing the thrill of the hunt. Not necessarily with the goal of actually killing anything but just to feel the adrenaline rush of outsmarting a wild majestic animal like a deer or a bear or a badger...OK maybe not a badger. Here are some step by step tips on how to get started:Find an ExpertA good way to start is to look for a local expert who can take you on your first hunting expedition. If you don't live in the wilds of Alaska or next to a local game reserve, you can try online or ask your local farmer maybe. A friendly expert can advise you on good places to go locally and put you in touch with local hunting parties. Get GearHaving the right gear for hunting is important. Hunting usually involves lots of camping and walking through the countryside. (Often this is what interest people in the first place.) For this you will of course need appropriate clothing and camping equipment. Additionally for the hunting part you will need a weapon, some Ammunition, a license for your weapon, binoculars, sometimes a hide, bait possibly and knives and other equipment for dealing with your prey once you have caught it. Don't be tempted to bring along other weapons like a slingshot catapult (such as a black widow catapult), only use hunting equipment you are supplied with.Correct SeasonsAnother important thing to keep in mind is the seasons in which it is legal to hunt. In the UK there are different seasons for different animals in different parts of the UK so it is important to be clear on these to avoid getting in trouble. MoralityA final thing you should take into consideration is the moral implicatio ns attached to hunting. Hunting is a very controversial topic so before you take up this as a hobby you should consider the effect it might have on your relationships with your friends and family. For some it is cruel to animals no matter how abundant their species is or how legally justifiable it is. For others it is a human right to be able to hunt and kill animals which if we were in caveman times would not even be an issue, it would be an essential part of survival. The debate goes on but if you have made a decision then at least now you have some handy tips on how to get started.
