Dog....here is what I would do.

I'd spend some time on Google Earth and try to find a few properties that have good habitat in your local area. Get yourself presentable, take a parent, and go knock on a few doors. Don't ask if you can hunt, ask if you can talk to them for a few minutes about the possibility. Tuck your shirt in and make sure your pants cover your butt. IF you get in the door, or can come back at a later date, tell them your goals. You do not want to just kill bambi. You want to help put meat on the table. Offer to share. Stress safety and respect for their property and neighbors. Talk about game recovery...that kind of stuff. You will probably get mostly No for an answer.....however, all you need is a single yes and you are in business. Do they need help with chores, yardwork, anything to get you in the door.

best advice you could hope to get!

I would strongly recommend against the use of buckshot. You can easily triple your effective range by using slugs.

You're in a good unit for blacktail if you can find a place to hunt.  I run deer out of the berry fields almost every night moving the bees in and out for berry pollination so I know there are some to be had with a little effort and luck.

Dog....THERE IS YOUR IN.....RIGHT THERE STARING YOU IN THE FACE.......

I have no idea who kazekurt is but he KNOWS PEOPLE! Get on the PM bandwagon.....maybe he needs some help with them bees!

Deer eat berries. Berries are worth $$$$$.....folks be losing 'cause you aren't thinning the herd!

Time is running out....deer season will be here......get to it!


Oh....and post pics of critters and tell us stories about blown stalks and succesfull hunts.

Get some binoculars. I know you probably will not need them for a shotgun black tail hunt, but you will eventually find out that bino's are a hunters best friend. Ask family members for a pair, even a small set will do for your current hunt. Also get a windicator (little tube of talc powder that you check wind). Wind that you should be off to a decent start.
