Welcome to the club. Bow hunting is far more rewarding and challenging than gun hunting IMO (no disrespect intended for gun hunters...I also gun hunt but it's nowhere near as challenging as bow hunting). One key piece of advice for a beginner is to know what shots you can and can't take. I've seen a lot of beginners take 'gun' shots...shots that they could pull off with a gun but will end in failure with a bow. This includes quartering-to shots that usually result in a wounded deer. Know how to get your arrow into, and through, the vitals, and you're on the right track.
