I have never hunted anything in my life, but I've always wanted to learn. I was in the Army for 4 years so at least I know how to handle a weapon. I live in Kentucky, so right now I'm not aware of the gaming laws in the state. I don't know anyone that hunts off the top of my head, and I really don't know where to begin. Does anyone know some websites I could check out to point me in the right direction? I'm looking for-Clothing-Important equipment to bring-Safety-Strategies (tracking maybe?) -How to clean animal-Where to put a deer once you shot one-WeaponRemember, I am a beginner! I have NO idea where to start
1. I am a former road and track racer who has in recent years taken up cross country mountain biking. These days I prefer mountain biking to riding on the road for a few reasons: a. Even though you may more often have minor falls when mountain biking (due to the more technical terrain etc), at least you are not likely to be hit by a car, bus or truck - which can of course result in much more severe injuries. b. Generally speaking, mountain biking can take you to more scenic places. However, I have noticed two slight disadvantages of mountain biking: a. You seem to be very much affected by a lack of fitness - I really feel it if I am climbing up a steep uphill on my mountain bike. b. In the past couple of years my mountain bike has needed more frequent maintenance than my road bikes ever did. The chain and rear cluster seem to wear out a lot quicker than it does on a road bike. 2. Basically, the more you pay, the better your bike will be. So how much you spend should be determined by your own financial situation. At the very least, I would suggest getting a bike with all alloy components. Rear suspension can be good, but remember that it will add weight to your bike and that you will generally have to spend a lot more money to get a dual suspension bike that is as light as a hard-tail.
