Acaulking, don’t take this as a smartass response. This is spot on. You will learn way more from someone than any book can teach you.

This is better than anything you can get on the internet.
There’s a wealth of information available now for new people thanks to the internet, but it can certainly be overwhelming.
I’ve hunted all my life and it feels overwhelming for me to try new areas. The best thing you can do is put boots on the ground, especially with someone who might know the area. The more familiar you become with an area, the more comfortable you will feel when trying to do homework on the internet.
Edit: You may be able to find someone to help on the internet, and this board is a pretty good place to start. But you could also luck out and run into someone helpful out on public land. Just don’t plan on them being very helpful if you walk up to them while they’re in the stand

Yep. And make it known to your friends that hunt you want to learn and are willing to help pay for things. Gas, lease dues, etc. Even if folks are hunting public land they have expenses and helping out with those will go a long ways. If you know someone in a private lease make it known you are looking to join and you will help with all the work that goes into one. You may have to find one that’s far from home at first, but in the end you will save years of trial and error by spending time with people that have been doing it for their whole lives. Many of us take pride in helping developing young/novice hunters. You very well can learn a lot from reading and watching videos, but the value of walking/talking hunting with an experienced person is invaluable. Best of luck to you.
