Move. Just kidding, but you guys really need some kind of government issued card to buy a .22?

The NRA offers many hunting/shooting safety classes. To be frank, learning to hunt will be much harder than learning to fish. I was just reading the article about the chance of someone starting to hunt who hasn't hunted when they were growing up, and it's not very high (I guess I just assumed that part from your question).

The best way would be if you had a friend who hunts who can teach you, like someone else said. There are different types of hunting like there are different types of striped bass fishing. My recommendation for the first year would be learning how to find promising areas and mastering sitting still. By still, I mean still. No movement, no noise, no nothing. Learning to sit still is one of the fundamental skills of hunting, and you can do pretty well by it - especially once you learn where to sit still.

The Remington 870 is the standard by which other multi-purpose devices are judged.

All you really need is a license, the necessary blaze orange clothing, an insulated seat, and a gun.
