I think the first thing new hunters need to do is see deer move in the woods. If you are totally green to hunting then the best advice I can give you is in three steps. First, find some land and get permission, whether privet or public, get some land to hunt. Second, after you have a few spots go out and walk all over the land and look for sign like tracks and old rubs. Try to find a trail or a natural funnel that the deer would need to take, but just try to find evidence of deer in the area. Third, after you have good sign like lots of tracks on a trail or an area try to get as far from the area as you can, but still see real good and watch the spot in the morning and evening as much as you can to see when the deer are using it, study the deer and there habits. Third, if you find a good spot close in and set up on it with a tree stand or ladder stand or something and try to hunt it. If I tell you all about the other stuff it will just be to much and put you in over load. after you have a spot you will learn more and continue to ask questions. But first you must at least find some deer and get set up IMO.
