Hi, Trying to get into hunting and hopefully get my dad (has some experience) into it as well. I've read up on the legal how does and the getting started hunting PDF from the wildlife website. My problem is I don't know anyone who goes hunting nor have a hunting rifle for deer.
This leads to 2 questions really.
Anyone know of a group in Moore county or someone willing to help me getting into this hobby?
What's a good caliber to get? I'm fairly comfortable up to .308 (fired .45-70 before and wouldn't mind getting one but ammo is expensive). I'm a decent shot but a bit of rust has started forming thanks to the pandemic. I do have a Mossberg 590 but never fired slugs out of it (yet) and not sure if that's a good starting deer gun (not the lightest thing either)
