Well, as I'm getting into the basics of hunting and wanting to start out with the right equipment for me, I am reaching out to any and everyone who has some helpful advice.

I'm trying to decide on what caliber rifle to purchase that will suit me the best for deer hunting. I don't have much experience shooting rifle's but have been shooting handguns since I was a child. I don't know if I could handle to powerful of a rifle as I only weigh about 130 to 135 max. So, I'm probably going to be looking for something that doesn't have a lot of kick to it and just doesn't have that bad of recoil.

I know when I was younger one of my friend's used to go deer hunting with a .22 rifle, but I believe I'm looking for something a little more powerful then that unless that would get the job done for me.

Well, I've always wanted to go on hunting trips with my friends, but other things have always kept me away from doing so. Now, I have a daughter that is growing up fast and for myself and her I would like to start hunting. I believe I will be hunting for deer mostly, as that is the most common game that is hunted in my area.

I really have to start from scratch as to what gun would be good to hunt with and things of that nature, as I have only ever owned and operated hand guns. I also would like to learn to hunt with a bow because my grandfather gave me a bow last season as a present, the only problem with it is I don't have enough strength to pull the string all the way back. So, if it's possible I have to find a place that can lighten the amount of force it takes to properly and effictevly make it possible for me to shoot.

I'm hoping that there are people out there who would be able to give me tips and some of their common knowledge of the sport of hunting so that I can be able to take my daughter (hopefully come next season) on her first hunting trip and shoot her first deer with her father.
