I'm currently looking at getting a rifle, as I was deciding what I wanted to go with, I wasn't thinking about hunting as I have never been. I decided that I was going to go with a Marlin 1985GS because the I think the gun is gorgeous and with reloading isn't THAT expensive to shoot. Then I started thinking that it would be almost a waste to have that gun just for a little rifle shooting at the range. I've never been hunting and thought that I would like to give it a try.
Are there hunting clubs or something a novice hunter could go and "learn" the basics? I'll admit when it comes to hunting, I'm pretty ignorant. I'm interested in going out a couple times and see what it's like. Also, if by chance I took up hunting for the sport (as I don't need to hunt for food), are there places that I could donate the meat to? I'm in MA if that helps.
Thanks!
Adam
