Congratulations. That's great news.
One of my goals for this summer is to learn how to hunt.
If truly new to the hunt, I would start off as a bird hunter --- quail or dove because:
1. Easy to clean (deer are awful, and, if observant Jew, you pretty much have to go do it yourself to get it butchered correctly);
2. Don't have to get up too early or get wet like you do with ducks; and
3. You use a shotgun with light load & pellets, so if you make a mistake, it's generally not fatal.
4. it's social/team hunting, so someone can talk you through it.
