RE: first year bow hunting
What are your goals and how "early" is your season. If your season is like most , in the Sept-Oct. window, I wouldn't mess much with urine scents. If your just after meat, I'd suggest using a fawn in distress call and sucker a doe in. If after a buck, focus on trails between bedding and food/water, but try to get close to the bedding area to catch them on their feet before darkness falls. Don't be afraid to use a decoy either, deer are very curious of "strangers" this time of year.
