Took me years to realize probably the most important aspect of hunting. If you aren't seeing deer, move; and don't stop moving until you are seeing deer! Also, save yourself a TON of grief, spend a little money on a good stand set-up so you can move easily!

Straight-up, the worst mistakes we make as hunters is over-hunting areas. Stay on the move and you will see ten times more animals! Just wish it didn't take me 10+ years to realize this!
