Re: Want to start deer hunting
I also only started hunting as an adult with my father in law after I got married. The only thing I could add to everyone else's advice is that the required Game Comission "hunter safety course"is now available online. If you don't want to take the course with a bunch of 13 year olds, that's the way to go
I'm faster than Doc Holliday (with Novocaine of course)

Get the hunter safety course done asap, if your kids are 11 they need to take it as well. There is a fair amount of land to hunt up here near New Kensington if you're on this side of the city

Re: Want to start deer hunting
Once I have time I will post my 1st year experiences that I had this season. Welcome and my 1st piece of advice, get in the woods now and look and experience. I hear that's how you put it together but doesn't work for me ha ha! Seems good advice when you read it though. ;-)

Re: Want to start deer hunting
Finding a good place to hunt is your biggest problem. Don't expect local hunters to be eager to tell you where they hunt. In fact expect them to lie to you. They do not want you shooting their deer. If you can find an older hunter whose hunting buddies have died off and whose wife doesn't trust him out in the woods alone because he might keel over and not be found until spring, then you may do well. He may even have some private land that only he can hunt and that the owner may be persuaded to let you on.

Re: Want to start deer hunting
You guys are amazing! Thanks for all of the replies!!
Awesome! My family started hiking last year and plan to again this summer. Always looking for an excuse to get the kids into the woods.
Thanks!
I belong to a great club here in Pittsburgh, never thought to check around our members. I'll ask.
Thanks!
I'm not married to hunting in Allegheny County, could certainly travel around the area. My dad stopped hunting when I was a kid after getting nearly shot on public lands.
Can I go onto public land to hunt squire ll? The only .22 I have is a Ruger, Mark IV, can I hunt them with a pistol?
Lol.
I live in the South Hills, just off 19 about 10 mins from Wash County.
This is why I love this forum! Where are you at? I live in the south hills but have no trouble driving.
Good call! My oldest is only turning 10, I was thinking to wait and do it with him but think doing it online first and getting some time out there before he's old enough is a better plan.
He's only turning 10, I'll have him do it next year though. My gun club offers the class, I believe.
Thanks, looking forward to it!
I think I know the perfect guy!
