heh! This last season was my first hunt... I saw 2 deer at around 200 yds away.
I learned:
1-) Patience
2-) pack warmer clothes
3-) don' t use foot warmers in your gloves, i got blisters they were so hot! [

4-) I LOVE DEER HUNTING. Got nothing my first year but loved everything about it and will probably be going for the rest of my life...! that' s the plan anyway.
