RE: 1st year hunting
You'll need to set up within 40 yds or so (30 is better) of where you expect deer to be. That may/may notbe a big change from what you're use to. Establish known yardages to landmarks around your stand, so you'll know how far your shots will be. If you hunt from a tree, practice from an elevated position to see how that affects your shooting. Be careful about scent of course, including your routes to and from stands.
Bow-shot deer almost always run off, and they can go farther than you think they should. If the situation allows and assuming you didn't see the deer go down, wait at least 30 minutes before following a deer you think is hit in the heart/lung area. If you think you hit it too far back, wait 4-6 hours, again if the situation allows. The waiting can be hard to do, but believe me it's important. Many fatally hit deer are lost because guystrail them too soon, and end up pushing them onto neighboring properties they can't access.
The rest of it is really just hunting.
