So I've been dying to go hunting since a young kid and no one in my family hunts so It's been hard to but since I'm grown enough I can't let another season pass me by. Problem I have is I'm from queens and it's a process to get my rifle license I'm going to get a compound bow for now and am taking a bow hunting course to get my license. Does anyone from here have a rifle license with prior minor arrest record ? I'm just confused on to what to do, when I get my bow hunting license do they give me tags for deer or turkey when I'm done or is there another process for that? Also do I need to take a hunters safety course before the bow course? Where do you find places to hunt and where can I learn how to break down a deer after I hopefully hunt one? I'm sure I have more questions as I go on just trying to get this rolling as to hunting season is creeping up fast. thanks for any of the help
