what will you learn, ??
hunting on well managed ,lands is NOT the normal places most hunters hunt
you also will NOT have done any of the work to find the animals your after(the guide will do this)
so unless you think having someone else do everything for you but shoot is, learning hunting?
you'd be wrong IMO


best way to learn how to hunt is spend time learning how, and that is a combination of many things, from reading, watching, , talking to others, and Getting your Butt outside and walking about in woods and forest and fields and observing wildlife from a distance and then closer and closer as your skills and knowledge of them gets better, and practicing hunting skills, which means stalking game, finding game and learning there habits , so you can go ANYWHERE and find game and HUNT

a guided outfitted hunt, you do almost NONE Of the hunting, your walked into a stand, placed and told what will maybe show up and then its a shooting game!
NOT hunting, big difference between shooting and hunting! nothing beats being outdoors and LEARNING things first hand, and this takes TIME and YRS, and desire to LEARN and be good and successful at it
ain;t no short cuts in life to gain experience!
BUT how hard you work at something, can help speed things up,
