So i know this is a fishing forum but come on, we're all outdoorsmen (and women) so there has to be a few hunters on here. I've been shooting the bow with my brother lately (he's the hunter I'm the fisher). I use to hunt in my early teenage years but never got into very much. He's been trying to convince me to come with him in the big game seasons. So I've got a couple questions for anyone on here not afraid to answer them.
1. For a beginner, whats a decent bow brand and whats a good price to pay for one new or used?
2. What other equipment do i need besides the bow?
3. I passed the hunter safety course when I was 14 or 15 whenever you need to take the test, but I've lost my card. Do i need one for Bow hunting? If so is it hard to get replacement or do I need to take the course again?
4. Any other things you think I should know, such as what tags to get, when to get them, where to get them. etc.
Thanks for any help anyone can give me, and don't worry everyone else, I'm not quiting fishing (far from it). But just trying to expand my outdoor activities (and i love the taste of deer and elk).

(P.S. You can PM me if you don't want the other fishermen on here to find out you hunt[
