getting into hunting late'ish in life

[idahoan]

I'm in my 30's and haven't been deer hunting since I was in my teens with my neighbor. I went out back of his house and we sat and bullbubblegumted until a deer walked into his yard and I shot it. that was my first and last time hunting. I would like to actually learn how to hunt but am unsure how to start. I am new to the area so I don't really have any hunter friends.

So, how would you propose that I start?

TIA

It's never to late. I got into hunting five years ago. I'm in my early 50s. Take oregonhunter5s advice and go for it...

I am in a similar situation. 37 and never been hunting. I've been doing a lot reading and taking a hunter education course online to get started.
