Start out hunting varmints like crows or gophers with a .22-it will teach you lots about shooting and get you used to handling a gun. Practice,Practice practice don't just shoot paper targets make it fun-fill a milk jug with water or shoot balloons or overripe apples-it's better to shoot 100 practice rounds so you only need one in the bush.

i started by hunting squirrles and chipmunks but for real game i would start with birds then maybe a doe or a little buck

It all depends whether you are starting with a gun or bow, and whether you plan to gun hunt do or birds. If you are starting with deer, or birds, just to get used to it I would try squirrels, rabbits, even trap shooting. otherwise if you are starting with deer hunting just go practice with your gun and then go try it out on a deer. Just try to get your first one close!

What is good to hunt depends on you. How old are you? How much target shooting have you done? What is the biggest gun you have fired?

I started out just "hunting" squirrels and rabbits with a pellet gun when I was probably around 10 by myself. I killed a couple rabbits, never did manage to get a squirrel, but I had a blast trying!!! I hit one or 2 but somehow they always managed to get away. I remember my first rabbit.....I was walking with my pellet gun (I always used BB's though) and I saw a rabbit jump up and run, he stopped, I aimed and dropped him!!! I wasn't expecting a kill, I walked up to him and my leg just started shaking!!!! My first experience of "buck fever." I suggest starting with small game, using a .22 or shotgun, or even a BB gun (depending on your age). I hope that feeling never goes away, it is awesome!!!! Pretty soon, you'll be addicted to hunting and you'll find yourself thinking about it all the time! Good luck!
