One of the best pieces of advice i can give you is save money =]
When you get ready for buying camo, i'd say asat is the best choice out there for a beginner and pros. I bet most of the pro hunters wouldnt wear the camo they are wearing now if they werent being paid to wear it. asat has some of the best technology for hiding yourself in the forest, i saw some of their pictures on their website and some, i couldnt find the hunter for a long time.

i just got some new stuff from bugs n bullets.com and love it, the prices were the best i could find too.

i saved a ton of money by using some of the NcStar equipment from them too. The quality was decent enough to where i would suggest it to anyone starting out!
