How many people have gone to any training courses on hunting, stalking, or any advanced shooting and incorporated your airguns? Do schools like this exist?

Check your state's DNR(DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES) in my state they offer hunter training.

I know when I lived in NC on Camp Lejuene NC had a hunter safety training but it didn't get into the hardcore stuff like advanced shooting, "stalking" (Making a quick gillie, or regular gillie suit, tracking )

Yeah I meant from guys with field experience or school trained.. and stalking/hunting isn't tactical shooting behind a wall persay its like a watered down sniper school. Michaels videos aren't bad but not the same thing..

Contact your Fish and Game Dept. and ask if they have any Outdoor Workshops. Many States try to promote ethical hunting, safe handling, and processing of game.
I, myself, didn't have a family interest in hunting and had to learn from trial and error.

@TeOh1776 I’ve never seen a hunter wear a gillie suit. Is this a thing? Most animals I’ve hunted use smell and hearing to detect a human presence. I’m not walking up on these animals. They’re usually gone before I get there unless I stumble upon a sounder of pigs. I’m not an expert on animal behavior just speaking from personal experience. There are styles of hunting that I’m not familiar with hence the question. Also, what sort of “advanced shooting” do you have in mind?
@qball is on point but I’d add hunting with experienced hunters who have reputations for consistently returning from hunts with their quarry is a great way to learn.

To answer your question, yes there are courses. They are focused on women and youth because, as one instructor said, most adult males are un-teachable.
Going to a course will have many benefits of learning and friendship. You might even find some open doors for hunting opportunities.
Above is a link for your State.

Something you can do is spend as much time outdoors as possible-bring a good pair of binos and just observe. You'll gradually figure out the preferred areas and types of habitat a particular bird or animal will usually be found in. Learn to read tracks as well, if you don't have a teacher try a book or the interweb. I didn't grow up in a hunting family, but spent most of my free time wandering the river bed near my home. I consider any time spent walking or sitting still outdoors and observing Nature to be time well spent.
