The squirrel hunting is a good idea, though I'm still leaning towards jumping in to deer hunting as I do really like venison (I realize I may not get a deer anytime soon if I do try). I do think I would enjoy doing some bird hunting as well, though I am not even sure where to start with that. Does anyone have any recommendations on places to hunt if I do? I will definitely check out Black Kettle and Beaver WMA, any others to look at? How much does leasing land cost and where would one look to do so?
