Laudible goal, Aahzz, & a tall order not knowing if you even shoot firearms/archery yet.
One of the first things you can do without even having a firearm/bow is to start looking at animals, watching what they do, how they act AND to be able to start seeing them even when only a portion of their body is exposed. Most times, animals only present a view of partial body parts; an ear, flick of the tail, parts of their legs, etc. - usually don't see the whole critter as in an outline flash-card. You must be able to see & ID the game before you can ever hope to shoot it.
Being where the critters are sure helps so you have ample opportunity to gain the experience is finding & seeing them.
Learning about their habits & habitats is a good thing - where they go, when & why.
Getting out in the woods, fields allows you to be moreso where they are & see 'em in their natural state.
Learn to "watch" the wind. Deer have excellent sense of smell & may use that more than any other to keep out of harm's way. Critters upwind can't smell you.
Learn how to walk quietly in the woods/fields. It's not just where you step, but how.
If you are not familiar with firearms/Bows, take a safety course. After that, practise to get better & practise some moreto get good.
Ideally, you will luck into someone who can walk you through/do some training - much easier to learn by doing & from someone who knows rather than make all the mistakes to "catch the drift."
Can be done, just takes much longer.
Good luck.
