I think Superman 70 hit it right on the head. Find a good hunt club in your area that is willing to take you in as a new member and most will pair you up with someone of experience to help you and watch out for you while you get familiar with everything. The members usually help out with the processing of the deer and you can learn a whole lot. Thats how I learned as my father is not a hunter and did not have anyone to take me. I joined a club with a friend about twenty five years ago and still a member. Good luck!
