- Never stop at a gas station on your way to a hunt.
- Always stay as scent free as possible.
- Stay in tune with your equipment.
- When in your tree stand stay as motionless as possible. In my opinion you're more likely to get spotted by deer from a distance than the closer ones.
- When it comes time to shoot, focus on the spot you want the arrow to hit and not the whole deer.

I learned most of these the hard way but like they say "Experience is the best teacher".
