Hello Magnus.
First off, good luck. Remember to be thankfull that you're able to get out.
I would recommend shooting as much as possible this week. Are you familiar with the weapon? It is imperative to know where you are shooting before you even enter the woods. We owe our quarry that much.
The three "s" is a good place to start. Scent,Sound and Sillouette, A deer ( especially an older buck )will bust you if you show any of these 3 "S".
A good cover scent that will remove and mask your natural scent will definately help. Watch the wind, get in early and be patient. The woods are beautiful this time of year...enjoy.
If you are lucky enough to get a shot, wait for the animal to be quartering away if possible. ( head down, broadside is always nice too ha ha) This offers a quality shot with the least chance of being spotted. Know, and respect your range and follow through.
Good luck again and we're with you in spirit! Let us know what happens.
