[QUOTE="ProBusiness, post: 758573, member: 6145"] Just start and add to it. Everyone has their 'favorite' gun but in reality at .243 and up to 7mm or .375 are used. U can't go wrong with a good gun as long as it will shoot straight. i would not put much $$ in a starter gun. the gun you buy may last you a life time or you may trade many times before you find the right gun for you. I would go with the smaller calibers for hunging in OK. a 7mm mag really kicks. - i have seen good guns with good prices now. i think around hunging season there is more of a demand and they usually go up. - if u find a gun you like, search the internet for a 'review' on that gun. u can usually find out if it is considered a bad gun pretty fast. - don't be afraid to buy a gun and try it. u can resale it pretty easy. - see if u can go with someone - get in shape - be able to walk long distances with lots of clothing on. be able to get up and down steep banks, have some upper body strength cause of you have to pull the deer very far it is a job. if your in shape, it can be enjoyable. if you are out of shape then it can be a hard day. - i would probably hire a guide to start, someone that would not only get you on deer but talk to you about it. - hunting from a stand increases you odds but stands get stolen from public land. - a lease is the way to go. looks on craigs list and the paper and there are leases being offered now and maybe you can find one that needs one or two more guys. if you team up, let them know you are completely new. - buy what equipment you can affort this year and add to it each year. - read all you can. there is a LOT of info out there. - there are usually good sales on deer stuff after the season.
