There is a required PA hunter safety course you have to take. I took it over 40 years ago but I would assume it's still the same --- basically about 4-5 hours classes where you watch videos about gun safety and stuff like that and then take a short test which everyone passes. You might even get a chance to shoot a gun but not sure about that. Once you get your license, you can pretty much do whatever you want --- just make sure you get permission to hunt on private land. Hunting just involves a lot of common sense --- don't shoot at something moving in the underbrush --- it might be a dog or coyote or human! Try not to wound deer by flinging lead all over the place, practice on the range so you can make a deadly shot and bring down your animal in a humane way. Most of all, just enjoy being outdoors and HAVE FUN.
