[QUOTE="TNCharlie, post: 5788842, member: 2047"] Excellent advice here. I will add this. Many (most?) of us here hunt deer to some degree all year long. We only kill deer during hunting season. Become a year-round hunter. How? One fairly simple thing to do is go to parks that have deer and observe them all year long. You will learn about their body language and travel habits. You will also learn to distinguish between a buck and doe, or fawn from a grown deer. If it's accessible take walks (hunt, but obviously with no weapon) in the off-season on the public lands you want to hunt . Not only will you learn about deer, but also about the lay of the land, where landmarks are, etc. Then in hunting season you can concentrate on killing a deer and not figuring out the other stuff. Arguably the best way to learn is to become a good squirrel hunter. The seasons are very long; there is even a spring season and the fall season begins before and extends well after deer season. It will give you practice in sitting and observing and gives you extra incentive to get into the woods. And getting into the woods anytime you can is proabably the best advice you can be given.
