Never mind

I feel nobody should go into the woods with any weapon with no skill and a cheap weapon. Not ethical by ant stretch of the imagination. I have seen it and I abhor it. Buy the best weapon you can and then practice, practice and practice some more. You will be shooting at a living animal that wants to live as bad as you. Make sure your equipment and you are up to the task before you ever take a shot at a living animal.

Here in Pa the cheap way would be to travel the highways and byways and pick up some fresh road kill.

Joking a side there have to be way more killed on the road then by hunting.

Cheap? By yourself a rusty old single barrel shot gun and a box of slugs . Archery stuff is expensive as are crossbows.

Especially in PA. I read a story where Pennsylvania has the highest amount of deer killed by vehicles then any other state. Here in NorCal we get our share.
