A treestand is not a must. I can give you one other pointer, you did not specify if you were hunting with buckshot or slugs. If buckshot, I find 00 buckshot to be the best with a modified choke. It throws a real tight pattern. I don't know of any videos right off hand, but if you go to the hunting.net site, go to deer hunting on the little tab at the top and it will walk you through everything from shot placement, to skinning, to cooking. Hope it helps a little.
