I strongly suggest working on your physical conditioning. Also work on your marksmanship. You can do this cheaply using a 22LR. I also suggest you practice (with an empty rifle) reducing your arc of motion with your deer rifle (shouder, hold on a specific target point, rest and repeat). Once you reduce your arc of motion, you can dry fire (use a snap cap) and work on reducing the firearm movement while pulling the trigger. Also work on being able to walk as quietly as possible (walk while wearing electronic ear protection to hear all your sounds). Remember that scent control and eliminating as muchbody movement as possibleis very important. If you do have to move, move as slowly as possible.
