Read the guide to hunting, butchering and cooking. Vol 1 is big game, vol 2 is small game. Check out the show Meat Eater on netflix. Also watch a guy on youtube named Randy Newburg.
That will cover a lot of the basics.

To add to /u/Gitmo_money post about Rinella, get his books. He has a guide to big and small game. Even as an avid hunter and growing up with it, I picked up some things from his books.

Ammo, magazines, a resetting target, exploding targets, or a rimfire scope if he doesn't have one can all be found in that price range.
I also have Steve Rinella's book on small game and can recommend it.
Volume 2 is out. I just ordered it today :)

You may want to check out Steve Rinella's book "The Complete Guide to Hunting, Butchering, and Cooking Wild Game: Volume 2: Small Game and Fowl". It's really well-written and dense with helpful information. It's no substitute for time in the field, but at least it will help you ask the right questions.
This book is honestly the best way to learn how to hunt, -and it's broken down by each species. I have hunted since I was a little kid and still learned a lot from it. Cannot reccomend it highly enough.

Check with your state to see which department is in charge of game and fish. There's actually links to each states' department in Rinella's guides. These sources will usually provide you with areas to hunt in, such as national forests, wildlife management areas, and other such locations.

The top comment mentions meateater.com and they wrote a couple books about this. Each book is over 300 pages with discussion, pictures, and info about everything you might want to know.

I started with this book and then I got the sequel
Couple other things: Start by taking a hunter safety course, preferably with range/field time included. Buy decent binoculars and look for game with your glass, not your boots. Speaking of boots, buy a good pair and make sure they're broken in before you go out too far. Squirrel or doves are a good place to start. In California, you could probably start with deer hunting on a National Forest. Wyoming doe antelope or javelina in Arizona would be a good first out-of-state big game hunt. The tags are cheap, easy to draw, and the animals are found on public land. A good resource/introduction to hunting:

pretty much said perfect.
Get a shotgun, and start with rabbit.
I would add shoot skeet and sporting clays to get proficient with the shotgun.
Watch Steve Rinella on Netflix and read this book https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Guide-Hunting-Butchering-Cooking/dp/0812987055
Sometimes its hard to figure out where you can hunt. ArcGIS online is probably the best for online maps you can play with the base layer. Road maps, topo maps, satalite. I like to locate places with the ArcGIS then look at them with google earth. https://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?useExisting=1
The open spaces in CA are a big mix of BLM, national forest, state and national park and military. This is a pretty decent site http://publiclands.org/Get-Books-and-Maps.php?plicstate=CA&site_id=6390 The Yellow is all BLM. MAke sure the Land Status is checked on the bottom right, on the top menu on the left click Activities and sort by Hunting. Once you find an area you think looks good then you can try to find a more detailed map and find were you can actually hunt.

Volume 1 is big game.
There is a ton of info in these books.
I'm new to hunting as well, just started duck hunting last season and still haven't gone after any big game. First mammal I got was some cottontail.
I found Steven Rinella's books to be extremely helpful, he has two volumes: The Complete Guide to Hunting, Butchering, and Cooking Wild Game: Volume 1: Big Game and The Complete Guide to Hunting, Butchering, and Cooking Wild Game: Volume 2: Small Game and Fowl
Very reasonable prices and packed full of knowledge. In my opinion one of the best starting places to start learning hunting before you dive into more detailed books on specific species. That being said, if you can find a mentor that's really one of the best ways to start but educating yourself through books, videos, etc will help you understand the tactics much better. Like any endeavor you'll probably have disappointment your first few times out but that's just part of the experience and learning. Good luck!
You should check out Steven Rinella's complete guides to hunting. These helped me immensely in getting into hunting.

I use a rifle, .22 caliber, but you could use a bow or shotgun as well. If you use a shotgun you would ideally use something smaller like 20 gauge rather than 12. With a shotgun you could take shots with the squirrel or rabbit moving, but with a .22 you can aim better and more accurately on a stationary one and get a head shot so that you don't ruin any meat. If you were to use a .22 you'd want to be out on some land not near a city or anything because you wouldn't want to shoot at one up in a tree and miss and the bullet come down on someone. It's not likely by any means, but still.
I have this book(The Complete Guide to Hunting, Butchering, and Cooking Wild Game: Volume 2: Small Game and Fowl) by Steven Rinella that's all about small game hunting, including techniques on how to hunt things like rabbit, squirrel, quail, duck, etc. and it also tells you about what gear to use(including essentials like guns and ammo as well as non essential stuff like binoculars), and how to clean and cook the animal including recipes. Has a lot of useful information from an experienced hunter that explains things way better than I can lol. It's only $15 and I highly recommend it to help get you started!
I don't have my shelf in front of me right now, but the one I can remember that I really like is Butchering.
Also, it's not purely butchering or farming, but Steve Rinella's two book series on hunting, butchering, storing, and preparing small to large game is a fantastic resource. Book 1. Book 2.
