I've been saying I'm gonna start hunting every year since I turned 18 and I never have. well I'm determined to do it this year. I have no experience and don't know anybody who does, but I'm gonna start with squirrels and rabbits. Just my .22 rifle, vest and hat, pocket knife and a map. Maybe a turkey if I buy a shotgun. Ya know, the stupid animals. those deer are more skittish than a coked up housecat. Anyway, I'm trying to figure out what kind of hunting I would like to do once I feel comfortable with the basics. Hog hunting sounds really exciting but thats not exactly local. Coyote seems interesting although I'm skeptical about this whole "varmint" thing. Deer I'm not super keen on because it seems like stalking an animal with such acute senses would be frustrating, as well as MA requiring a shotgun or muzzleloader for hunting them. MAYBE stand hunting would work. the "big" game all sound very exciting to hunt, but I think I'll save the moose and bear until I'm a little more seasoned Of course I'll have to venture out of MA for a lot anyway and I'm planning on moving in then next few years, long before I can acquire the arsenal needed for all of these.
My question to you all is what game do you like hunting and how? why ? why is it better than a different method
