I guess the first thing is to be proficient with your weapon and to know both your limitations as well as those of you bow. Knowing the anatomy of a deer will help you to determine what shots you should take and which you should avoid (ethically speaking)

If you're hunting private land you can do about anything you want. If you're hunting crowded public land it's best to get in early. if you're walking in and see lights flashing at you from high in a tree it's best to move on as the spot is occupied. This is not required but is good etiquette.
These are just a couple. I'm sure others will elaborate.
