Hello everyone - my name is Brian and I am so happy to have found this forum. I am an active fly fisher based in New Jersey who is most likely relocating to CO in the Spring. I did not grow up hunting in any capacity, nor did anyone in my family, though we've done some skeet shooting over the years. I have been doing my best to educate myself on the wonderful tradition of bird hunting and am extremely excited to get involved in the sport, when the time is right, hopefully in Colorado.
My question is, if you were me and you wanted to get started in upland bird hunting from scratch, what would you do to ensure a safe, ethical hunting experience that is also fun, conservation-minded, etc? My wife also wants to be involved. We love hiking so we seem to be more drawn to upland than, say, sitting in a duck blind. And the thought of being able to hunt for our own food is particularly attractive since my wife is a great chef.
I am a lover of the outdoors and just want to expand my interaction with wildlife. Thank you to anyone who responds - it feels like a shot in the dark but we shall see!
