Hey all, I'm a new hunter currently taking the Hunter's Ed course. I've been shooting all my life, but have never hunted (beyond terrorizing the neighborhood squirrels and birds as a kid ;D) so I'm a little lost as to how to start. I'm in the San Fernando Valley, so there doesn't seem to be any super nearby places to hunt. Currently, I'm interested in upland bird hunting, though I'd be doing it without a dog. I'm here to basically get all the info I can, regarding both the legal/proper way of doing things and technique. Cheers!
