Start by watching from a distance -- if you find a trail or funnel that you think is going to be the place, spend some time in the early AM or late afternoon watching from a distance -- well outside hunting range if visibilty allows. A lot of guys will use trail cameras for this, but that can get expensive. But keep in mind that patterns will change as the seasons change.

Also, always be aware of your scent. I don't use the scent blocker clothes, but I am conscientious about scent -- hunt the wind, don't walk on or across the game trail if you can help it at all. I'm also not a big believer in cover scents. Many hunters on this board will tell you (and I agree) that it is better to smell like nothing than to smell like something that may be unfamiliar or out of place. Take time now (pre-season) to clear and mark your route into your tree stand so that you can slip in silently in the dark. Also, take time to range targets from your stand - establishing reference points so that you're not guessing too wildly from the stand. Depeding on when your season starts, you can do a lot of that work now and the deer will be none the wiser once the season starts.

I say all this just so you don't spoil your hunting grounds - especially if it's a small plot.
