re: I Need Some Help

It's going to be tough to have real conversations or make real friendships just talking unless you are actually in the game.

At least get a rod and reel and take up catch and release on some fish local to your area. I have never released a fish that was edible and legal, but to each his own. Penn Feirce 6.5' rod with a 2000 series Penn reel will cover a lot of territory.

Even if you don't want to harm rabbits, deer ducks, etc.; certainly you can find enough hatred in your heart to hunt a damn hog. Everybody hates them and killing one or two will get you enough street cred with the hunters at the water cooler. Wild pigs are natural organic meat, bro. Get a used 30-30 Marlin lever action and tell them you are old school.

Don't even try bullshitting them; they will know.
