first of all, you'll need a general hunting license.  before you can buy that, you'll probably have to take a 12 hour hunter safety class.  those classes are mandatory in most of the states.  once you pass, you can buy your license.  then you can buy or apply for a deer permit.  deer season is usually in oct-dec, depending where you live.  some states only allow shotguns for deer, others allow rifles.  if you can use a rifle, i'd suggest you go to walmart and buy one of their "package" guns in a .308.  a package gun has the gun, trigger lock, sling, and scope.  remingtons and savage's are both good.  you'll also need to sight in your rifle.  try 2 or 3 different brands of ammo, and use the one that shoots the tightest group.  buy a cleaning kit too.

I don't purchase new equipment because 1) lack of budgetary resources (single parent, 2 kids)  and 2) I have been using the exact same archery gear for about 20 years now.  Bear Whitetail II bow; Easton Gamegetter II 2117 arrows; Muzzy 150 gr. 4-blade broadhead; Grizzly 10-foot ladder stand.  Please don't laugh.  I realize that huge progress has been made in all these products.  But they work quite well for me.  I am very familiar with my bow and out to 30 yards or so, I can place my arrows in an 8" circle.  I get my bow out in late August, string it up, and shoot a couple dozen practice shots with field points to make sure everything is kosher.  A few practice shots with an old broadhead and I'm ready for Sept. 15 (archery opener here in E. NE).  I have killed 25 or so deer with this gear including a big wide 5X5 that was over 200 lbs. field dressed.  My feeling is that whatever gear you use, you have to know it's limitations and your own and you need to be confident in your ability to make a kill shot.  Nothing worse than a gut-shot deer with an arrow.  It will certainly die and you most likely will not be able to recover the animal.

Yes, but don't say on stand very long. You need to move around a lot and use the rain to your advantage (masks your odor and sounds). Most likely the only deer you're going to get is the one you walk up on while it's bedding down. I'd recommend you use a shotgun with one slug backed up my as many OOO buckshots as your tube will hold because it'll probably be a running shot unless you're very very sneaky. Look for them in heavy cover (dense pine branches that hang low) probably on the high ground.

Good hunting rifle, available in many calibers.  Can be quite accurate, some top-notch, some just okay (but usually very good).  Company is still in business.  Parts available if anything breaks.  Like most Savage rifles it can have its barrel switched easily to other calibers.  Custom parts available (better triggers, scopes, new stocks, etc.)\n\nEarlier answer was odd but he's right BE SAFE FIRST.  Always know what you are shooting at, don't point it at anyone (ever!), make sure there is a backstop when shooting for fun, etc.

Probably a Remington 700 in .308 Win. Can be had at your local Wally world for around 400. Winchester Model 70s are good too as are others.

You can download the hunting regulations for your state.  There are circumstances that allow deer to be taken without a license.  Local laws may overide the state hunting requirements.

Bound's hubby here:\n\n"What is the best deer rifle" is a very personal and subjective question. For woods hunting (max distance of about 125 yards), a nice, fast, light carbine like a WInchester 94 would be ideal. For hunting in open country (perhaps up to 400-500 yards), a respectable, flat shooting bolt gun for increased distance would be ideal. Sadly, you did not offer what type of environment you would be hunting in. Where you would hunt would really dictate what you would use or want. \n\nYour price limitation of $200, in my opinion, puts you in the used gun market. You might be able to get a used Winchester 94 for $200, but I would not hold your breath! It might be wise to wait a season and save another $100 or so and get a newer rifle that would best meet your needs!\n\nGood luck!

First get some firearms training.  DO NOT use bullets for shotguns would be dangerous.  Shotguns use shell\n\nWall Mart has some affordable shotgun shells

Bound's hubby here:\n\nPersonally, I would avoid the new generation of Short Magnums, Super Short Magnums, and Ultra Magnums ... for two reasons ... first, the availability of ammo (especially near deer camps) and second, the designers intend these new rounds to replicate the performance of the original magnums in a shorter cartridge/action. \n\nI would strongly suggest a .30-06 Springfield or .270 WInchester for your hunt. With skill and practice, the .270 is sufficient gun for elk ... as long as the rifleman knows his limitations. The .30-06 should be the standard you go for. Any good rifle will do the job with the .30-06. Look for a Remington, Winchester, or Browning ... any of these rifles will be very reliable and affordable. Do not get cheap on a rifle and/or scope if this rifle will be either for a hunt of a life-time, or depended upon to put meat on the table for years to come!\n\nGood luck!

Welcome to the world of target shooting. \n\nA couple of things..\n \nFirst - enroll in a handgun class offered by a multitude of instructors. If none are local you may wish to find one out of area. This will give you the basics of handgun operation.\n\nSecond - decide what extent you wish to obtain. Set goals and pursue them.\n\nThird - Now that you're familiar with equipment go buy the best you can afford.  Don't be afraid to buy used..some great deals out there for beginners.\n\nVideos are nice. Books aren't much for experience but offer good tips on equipment. The hands on instructor is inexpensive (usually 50 bucks an hour) and has guns you can use for the course.\n\nSome nice entry level accurate guns:\nRuger Mark II Competition Slabside - 22Lr - about $300 used\nSmith and Wesson model 19 - 38spl - about $150 used\nSpringfield mil spec - 45acp - $400 new\n\nGood luck and congratulations on choosing a great hobby.\nPS. wanna try something really fun? go to a search engine and type in Cowboy Action Shooting. You might get hooked...Pard.

You can buy a rifle 18+ and handgun 21+. You don't need a licence to OWN a gun, just to conceal carry. Your gun dealer will be able to walk you through registration and any other legal issues.

Actually being drunk would make it very hard to focus and shoot accurately so I doubt that they would be very successful.   I would assume being crazed would seriously hamper the success rate also.  As for deer being innocent, well they all say they are but can you really trust a deer?  Now if the question is really how to kill a deer with a bow and arrow then read on...\n  First you must practice for hours on end until you are good enough to put all of your arrows in a 6 inch group at whatever range you plan on shooting, normally 20 yards or less for Whitetail Deer and 30 to 40 yards for Mule Deer.  Then you must scout out an area to find a spot that will put you within that range of the deer.  You must buy a license to hunt with a bow in addition to your regular hunting license.  The money you spend goes into improving habitat for the very animals you are hunting.  After all of that, you must be able to get within range of the animal undetected.  Then you must draw the bow without being seen and release a shot that does not get deflected by any tree branches or grasses.  If your aim is true and the animal has not detected you, your arrow will find a vital spot and kill the animal.  Then, you must field dress it and transport it to the place where it will be skinned and cut up for consumption.  I hope this answered your question.

Actually, it really depends in which state you are from.  Currently in Virginia, kids under 12 do not need a license.  Ages 12 to 15 need a "junior" hunting license and those 16 and over need a regular hunting license.  Children under 12 may hunt only if directly supervised by an adult.  Those 12 to 15 need to complete an approved hunter's education program before being allowed to buy a license or hunt.  I hope this answered your question.
