once you've successfully completed acquiring the hunter safety course and got a few of the basics down,
you might want to start collecting a few books and videos on hunting whitetail deer.
there are dozens of free short related videos on the internet, but be aware there's more than a few posted by lower skill and less knowledgable people
so don,t assume everything posted is true or valid.
nothing will replace the experience gained over time spent roaming the local wildlife management areas,
and maybe finding a few mentors, join a couple of local ranges or ask around about joining the boy scouts, maybe some guy with a couple of sons your age as a mentor, or you can talk a cousin or your neighbor or your dad, into spending a few weekends camping, fishing and eventually maybe at least visiting the local outdoor shooting ranges and spending a few weekends camping in the remote areas, be observant and ask questions.

don,t be afraid to get your hands dirty or help others, and yeah,
the first deer you help dress out may not be a pleasant experience, but its some skill you'll need to learn.
