Default RE: new to bowhunting

Like others have said a little more info would help.
For a starter, keeping things simple is best. I' ll suggest a quality fixed blade head like muzzy or thunderheads, a grunt call, and whatever quality accessories (sights/rest) you can afford. With the help of someone in the know get your bow shooting properly and practice your shooting. I suggest not shooting over 20 yds at a deer for starters, practice as far beyond that as you' d like though. Any camo will do, a good pair of boots(rubber) and you' ll be set.
Feel free to ask any questions about stand placement, scouting, etc. And if you don' t remember anything else but these 2 things.....Don' t force your shot, and if the deer doesn' t fall within sight, wait at least 30 minutes, preferably an hour.
Good luck.
