Same situation
I am in the same boat as yourself. I was in the Army and have been shooting with what I consider petty fair intensity for a long time, but have had a hard time transitioning and "closing the gap" to being a hunter. I have now successfully filled three tags, may not be a big deal for some but is to me.
The hardest part for me was processing of the meat itself, but I bought a lot of books, took a lot of notes and tried. It didn't turn out perfect but experience is the best teacher. I guess basically what I'm trying to get at is being humble and not being afraid to ask is the greatest resource you can get. There a lot of people here that have been supportive/offered advice, and there's been one or two real..not nice fellas. Anyway, aside from doing as Mr. Eatman said which is the best advice, just ask. No one can discredit you for not knowing everything. That has been my greatest resource anyway.
