First , Id point out, your hardly alone, in having a family that was not into camping,hunting, fishing and frequent firearms use.
ok first step get a copy of the state fire arm and hunting regulations and read them over carefully.
next youll want to get a map of your states wild life management or allowed hunting areas.
Id certainly suggest you start small, and that might mean start by hunting rabbits, pheasant. morning dove, squirrels.
Id strongly suggest you attend and pass your states hunter safety course before you go hunting as its probably mandatory to do that.
(you may find a friend or two there or at local skeet and trap ranges too hunt with)
Id suggest you try shooting skeet a few times as the concept of a moving target and having to lead the target is far easier to learn there than from books.
rent , borrow or buy a dozen related firearm care, and proper use,and training videos,
buy and watch a game processing videos
join the NRA and read the magazines
watch as many related videos as you can.
rent borrow or buy a couple dozen hunting tips videos, ideally find an experienced mentor.
youll need a freezer at some point.
your local library should have a modest selection of hunting related books available.
a great deal of the stuff you see is designed to promote product sales , you only need the basics, comfortable, warm clothes
(ideally camo but thats not mandatory) good hiking boots, weather resistant gear.
all the gear in the world is not all that helpful if you don,t understand the game, terrain and the required skills.
a decent day pack, and a knowledge of what your doing, and the game hunted
some of the tips in these threads may help (and Im sure others will post useful info)
