Welcome to the tradition of harvesting game. Your questions show a sincere desire to learn. You dont state your age but that doesnt matter, the following suggestions will help you no matter what your age or skill level.\n\nFirst - Enroll in a Hunter Education Course. Many are offered in your area. Quite a few of those are FREE. That class will last a lifetime in your memory and you will probably meet someone there who would be thrilled to help you experience your first hunt.\n\nTwo - Acquaint yourself with the rules and regulations of your state. All the wild animals within your state belong to the people of that state and you have to follow rules for harvesting them.\n\nThree - The questions you are asking can be asnwered by visiting http://homestudy.ihea.com/ This is basically a homestudy class.\n\nCongratulations on taking the first step in doing your share of wildlife management. The animal populations in this country are dependant on hunting to survive. Do you part, share your sport..and take a kid shooting.

Heck no.  You could go shooting/hunting with me anyday.  Kansas.  Although I know a few guys that would put their guns back in their cases and go home if you outshot them.  One guy I know missed 2 targets on the skeet range by station 7, and then packed his stuff up and drove home.  His license plate said 100 str8.

I think i would need a Bow, knowledge of survival, and a companion. A bow to hunt with..Arrows can be made rather easily, Knowledge of survival to guide me, and a companion so I dont start talking to myself and die of lonliness

In arizona we have all that game. I hunt javelina with a .357 magnum just fine. But for the other game I would suggest a .41 or .44 magnum. I like the .454 casull and it is a great gun, but it is really powerful and you could develop a flinch. A better bet for recoil is the .480 ruger. It is a good cartridge with good ballistics and less recoil than the .44 magnum but flatter than the .44 magnum. I don't know about .41 magnum being hard to find, I think taurus makes a few in their tracker models with ported barrels, and smith and wesson should have a model in that caliber. \nI would suggest either the .41, .44 or .480 ruger. Anything less would not be safe for deer and mountain lion or antelope at a reasonable hunting range. A .454 might be too big and uncomfortable to carry but would probably give you the longest reach. \nThe other thing is I would look at barrel lengths of 6 inches or higher. Depending on where you hunt, hunting antelope with a pistol is hard. Most people I know use a thompson center contender in rifle caliber or similar non-traditional pistol design. \nI wouldn't worry about the mountain lion, they can be taken with a .357 magnum, and have been. A .41 magnum would do fine on them too. \nThe problem with mounting a scope is the eye relief is hard to get used to, and it adds weight. I use iron sights for javelina and deer and mountain lion. I have used a scoped .44 magnum ruger for javelina and found it was a little too easy and just didn't prefer a scoped handgun. I would recommend one though if you are going for antelope, deer, or mountain lion, with only a pistol, as they are generally at longer ranges, especially in arizona. \nI usually use a rifle for mountain lion, as they are hard to spot and you need dogs really to hunt them. I don't use dogs, but spot them during the deer season and such. It is an over the counter tag. But, a pistol in the calibers above would be good protection for a mountain lion attack or protection. \nSo, depending on your hunting ranges and for a good all around caliber for the game above. I recommend at least a .41 magnum with a .480 ruger or .44 magnum preferred for the deer and antelope factor. The .454 casull is the most powerful and fulfills all but is heavy, kicks a lot, and is really loud! A .44 mag is worse than a rifle in respect to noise. The blast is alot closer to you. That is how my hearing is bad, I have a permanent ring in my left ear (tinnitus) from the .44mag ruger, the blast off the ground is loud!! That was what did it, but the years of neglect added up. Back in my day, no thought was really paid to ear protection, and now when javelina hunting or bird hunting, and during practice I always wear ear protection.\nAnother tip is always practice, shooting a couple times and then going hunting is not good. Furthermore I fully recommend the .454 casull but if you can't shoot it without flinching then it is not a good gun. With the big calibers and pistol hunting in general you will need alot more practice. You need good form and you need to get use to the drop in pistol calibers. It is a totally different ball game than the flat shooting magnums. So practice and practice, and shoot at different ranges. Here in Arizona antelope tags come around rarely and pistols require more practice.

You could buy him a gun, and he would probably appreciate it. Here's another idea though - Use that 2500 to book 2 hunting trips.  It wouldn't even cost that much to go somewhere to hunt wild boar. I bet he'd never forget it. One time I bought my brother a new cowboy hat for his birthday. He really appreciated it, but he will never forget the week we spent at a bull riding camp together, and neither will I.

a rifle or pistol?\nyou can take weapons on planes so as long as thy are declared and locked up ( there are kept in the baggage hold ), but it's India's custom officals that I would worry about.

This is guided by Arms Act in which categories of weapons have been identified requiring licence from govt.Some weapons such as .38, 9mm revolvers/pistols can not be possessed by citizens except members of Armed Force and Police.Air guns(both pistols and guns) do not come under this category.You are free to buy and use it for peaceful purpose.But you cant intimidate others by this.Also hunting by any means is a penal offence.

My Husband and Sons are avid Hunters.  My Husband has taught our Sons how to shoot, take care of, and Respect what a gun/rifle/or/shotgun, can do.  He also has a subscription to American Rifleman.  There is a page in the Magazine dedicated to Armed Citizens, that have had Their homes, cars, etc. broken into, and having a Weapon Saved Their Life, and the Lives of their Families.  You need to keep the Safety on.  Some guns have double Safeties.  Keep Tt Out Of Sight, Out Of Knowledge, And Out Of Danger, Of Your Children, and Children visiting your Home.  You can buy a Trigger Locking Mechanism, or use a Lock Box. \nFind a Gun Range in Your Area, Where You can Learn How To Shoot It Without Harming Yourself, Or Some Innocent Bystander.  You may need to ask the Gun Range, or Your local Police Department how You can Transport the Gun to the Gun Range legally.  Where I Am at You take the unloaded Gun in the Trunk of Your Car, and put the Bullets up front with You.  If You get stopped be honest, and let the Police know You have it, have the Phone Number of the Gun Range with You so They can call them and see that You have made an appointment.  You just want to learn the proper way to use the Weapon.  \nThe people at the Gun Range can help You with How to Clean It.  If You decide to have a Gun in Your Home, and it has to be Your decision, be a Responsible Gun Owner.\nWhat I tell others, "I would never want to use it, But if Someone intends on Harming Me, I would like the chance to Defend Myself".  And I don't really like Guns.

Try this site.\n\nhttp://www.textfiles.com/politics/GUNS/caligun.law\n As far as I can read, it is considered the same as with general firearms. Discharging away from occupied dwellings is legal and you are not likely to get into any trouble for it. If you have a hunting license you should be fine in shooting critters, but you might want to check with your local fish and game service for definites. They can tell you about shooting animals on or off private property. Good luck to you.

Get a shotgun first.  There so many more things you can hunt with them.  I would suggest a middle of the road 12 ga semi.  The mp-153 is a good inexpensive gun.  Was made in Russia by Baikal, now it's owned by Remington.

I assume that you are talking about a gun deer license. If you are talking about that then you have no worry because for gun deer season you can walk up and get like 4 tags, when you get your license. And you get a ridicules # of tags every time you register a deer. No earn a buck. If its brown its down. Cwd will give you the chance to get out there and help ther DNR try to get a handle on it. thanks for hunting and grab a kid and teach him/her to enjoy nature and harvest it as it should be. Bowhunting is the only deer license that you need to get ahead of time all others you just go and get, them hunt like a predator.
