All I have to say is never quit researching. When I first started hunting all I did was read things on the internet and I also learned a ton from hunting videos. I still watch and learn things from hunting videos. But like one guy said earlier, it is all about trial an error. All the deer are different. For example my friend, who lives a mile away, baits with carrots, but if I try to use carrots at my stand the deer wont even touch them like they do at his stand. Also make sure that you have a lot of cover deer have very good eyes. I found that out my first year.
