never too late to start hunting if you have the desire to do so
you can also try contacting your local warden by phone , same with gun shops and or shooting ranges and hunting clubs and asking if anyone there would help you, one things calm down .
in the mean time you can always get outdoors and start walking the local forests near you, pay attention to things as you go, tracks, and other things, and then try finding game your interested in hunting.
no one says you have to be carrying a gun to be hunting, and practice and woodsman ship is something that takes time to learn and develop, and nothing beats feet on the ground , eye's and ears in play as your in the great outdoors
and even now, it can be done, as the forest are big and pretty much wide open right now to explore and learn , JUST pay attention to the up coming Turkey season, wear some hunter orange if you go out in the woods during it!
wildlife lives outside 24/7/365, so there is no better time than NOW to start being outdoors learning where they live, what they eat, where they like to sleep and wander, and all this can be done without a MENTOR, just get out there and do it!
you can also, watch a lot of videos on shooting safety and learn some gun side of things too, just remember some videos online are not all correct, pick and choose one';s to watch and head advice with a grain of salt on most!
