Re: 10/22 & Tac14 Hunting
Stick to the 10/22 for the first while until you get a proper hunting shotgun.
You could use the tac-14 to hunt, but without a stock that thing would be damn near useless for most people.
As for where, google earth, the hunting synopsis, municipal maps/regulations are what you need to study. Buy a Region 2 Backroads Mapbook and hit the dirt.
If it cant be done with one shot, it shouldn't be done.
