I couldn't tell what state you are in, but this is a good place to start. You can get a lot of information just calling the 1-800 number (1-800-344-WILD). Once you narrow it down to local you can simply call and say, "Going on my first hunting trip...I have never handled or shot a gun....Are there any..." places you can direct me to take a Firearm Safety Course?

We took them in high school around here when I was growing up. You'll probably learn all you can asking the right questions once you get a "professional" on the line. It's what they do and they are always very happy to help people learn the whats and whyfors of wildlife. Hehe, hec, if the hunt seems too much you can ask about fishing licenses and spots to fish near camp.

Good luck and be CAREFUL. I'm glad you want to be informed before you go out there.
