If you were in VA I'd take you with me.
The hard truth about hunting is that if you are a complete newbie you will probably need someone to show you the ropes. To get into an elevated tree stand in a good location simply takes a lot of knowledge and a fair amount of scouting, not to mention buying a weapon and getting it sighted in and becoming confident and proficient. Lots of people that grew up hunting may say it isn't that complicated, but that is because they have a lot of knowledge which they take for granted.
Good luck.
