TimHarris 0 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Hi there everyone I'm new to the forums and am not even a newbie yet when it comes to this stuff. I'm about to come into a tidy bundle of money and one of the things I want to do with it is kit myself out for a more hunter/gatherer way of life. I am, however, a touch lost as to where I should start – any help would be warmly welcomed Basically I would like to find out about the laws surrounding hunting in this country. Any books about hunting with air rifles and trapping would be helpful as well. Are there any courses I can go on to teach me hunting skills? i.e. Not only how to kill the animal cleanly, but also how to prepare it for the pot (skinning, gutting etc.) and/or preserve the meat? Any books detailing the basics of fishing would be great as well. I used to fish loads when I was a kid, but kind of got out of the habit as I grew up. Also, I fished for sport back then but now I'm more interested in fishing for food. I've done a bit of foraging in the past, but any books on this subject would also be more than helpful. What sort of hunting/fishing equipment would you recommend for a beginner? Not sure if this is the right forum for this, so sorry if it's not. Thanks! Yours sincerely, Tim Harris.
