If your family doesn't hunt, states often have "learn to hunt" or mentored hunt programs that will help teach you. I did a learn to hunt deer program in Minnesota and it was extremely informative and extensive. Everything from learning about the habits of the whitetail deer, scouting sessions looking for deer sign, rules/regulations, processing a deer in class, then going on a mentored hunt during a special season.
