Thread: Seeking Advice - New to Hunting

I would start with the camping. Get that sorted, then worry about the hunting.
Air rifles are not allowed on public (DOC) land. Bowhunting is allowed with a permit (which are free), though I think there are minimum draw requirements etc that apply. The air rifle could keep you fed with rabbits, possums etc if you have access to private land.
Maintaining cell reception means only going to areas that have coverage, which rules out a lot of areas if you want constant reception. Some areas you will get reception within a shortish drive, or by walking to the top of a certain ridge, etc if you just need to check messages occasionally.
