Hi .35, welcome to the forum. I assume that since you now have a license that you also have passed your hunter's safety course. If not then that should be your first step. You didn't mention a whole lot about your self, so the question you asked is rather vague. If you have never hunted before I would suggest finding one of your friends that do hunt and ask if you could tag along for a day or a weekend. If you don't have any friends that hunt I would go to the nearest bird farm and buy a few birds, have them put out for you and go out and enjoy the day learning. Some bird farms will allow you to release the birds yourself, you can release them, watch where they fly to and then go and try to find them. Hunting is not an easy sport to conquer, there will be good days and there will be bad days and hopefully you will learn to love it for the enjoyment of being one with nature and just not for the kill. I know that I haven't given you a lot of information about hunting, but it really is something better shown than told, so I hope this helps somewhat. And remember safety first, above all else.

hi,

this is .35 reminton, I had to change my name because I couldnt remember my password and the website wouldnt send me my password for some reason anyways.

Yes I did pass hunter's saftey and I just got my tags and license and all the stufff I need. Know how much the cheapest shotgun would be? because I am looking around and they are all like 2-6 hundred dollars.
