Just make sure you're safe. Bring water, food, compass, and toilet paper. Set up down wind from where you expect the deer to come from.
When I am sitting in my stand, it's not just about the deer hunting it's about everything else that lives out there too. The different things you will see out there will amaze you. I am the most happy when I am out in the woods, be it scouting or hunting I am in my element.
