Welcome to the site! Your first question is how. I am a stand hunter, Meaning I find a place to hunt and put up a ladder stand then I just sit and wait for the deer. You have to get permission from a farmer and then just start walking around looking for sign. By sign I mean deer tracks, tree rubs and bedding and feeding areas. When you find a good spot set up a stand or blind and just wait and see what happens. AS far as where well were are you? Im from northwestern ohio so its flat with lots of farming. I just look for a nice big woods and then start asking. But if you in the mountains and have mainy all woods then you will have to talk to someone else cause I have never hunted mountains or areas where its all woods and no open areas. Some people have good areas with public hunting you could look into that if you don't want to look to foolish to a farmer. But around here the public hunting is very little and what there is has been wore out like an old strip mall. But with this kinda question im sure you will get alot of replys and ideas so just go with whats sounds good and give it a try. Just go out there and get in the woods and look for them, you will find one sooner or later.
