Answer 1

Take the saftey class, find some public land at your states dnr website, and dont give up because it will change your life.

Answer 2

Start by taking a hunter safety course (which is pretty much required in all 50 states to get a hunting license). They'll explain all the hunting regulations, address safety issues, explain gun laws, and list public lands open to hunters in your state. From there you can decide what you need in terms of licenses (hunting and firearms) to hunt.

Answer 3

Safety is most important.  I live in West Virginia and we usually have a couple hunters killed every deer season.

Think how you would feel if you seriously injured or killed someone.  It would bother you for the rest of your life.
