Take hunter safety and get your license
Decide what you would like to hunt
Find a guide. Speaking from my first hunt which was for pigs back in California. The guide was well-respected, He had access to private lands,
The guide had a no pig, no pay guarantee and he would clean the pig and/or coach you through skinning and dressing out the animal
I paid a lot for those first pigs , possibly more than buying it at the store, BUT...
I learned some tracking skills, how to dress out the animal, what to look for when you're scouting.
Those skills helped me on later hunts. I am not Davy Crockett and most hunters can probably dress out an animal a lot faster than me but I can handle myself and my game.
Good luck with the hunt!
