Congrats on getting started and all of the above is good advice. You might want to consider trying your hand at some small game hunting (along with deer hunting of course). The learning curve is usually pretty steep with deer hunting and you might find yourself getting a little frusterated, especially when you are just learning. Small game like squirrels and rabbit are a little bit easier (for the lack of a better word) and will still teach you many of the skills you will need for deer hunting (marksmanship, woodsmanship, holding still, being quiet, being patient, etc.). Not to mention it is fun hunting and good table fare. Just sometime to think about, good luck!
