Let me preface this by saying I am a hunting NOOB. I've never officially hunted anything except squirrels as a kid with my pellet gun.
I am not sure about deer hunting just yet, but I am ready for turkey for sure! I want to bag a bird in 2010. I live in NH
What do I need to do? I know I will need:
-Hunting permit: This means scheduling to take a course and I need to do it this winter to be ready for the spring season. Any advice on a good place to take a course? How much can I expect to pay?
-Shotgun: This is easier. I will research, source and find a gun.
-Gear: Full camo, head to foot....
Does everyone suggest a guided type hunt for a first timer? Can i go about it solo or should I talk someone into tagging along?
Do turkey hunters typically get a bird each year? How does success rate compared to something like deer?
