Sounds like a mentor would be a great idea. If you can't find one.... read and use these forums. But more importantly.... Get in the woods!
Your going to make a ton of mistakes like we all did. The trick isn't making the mistakes, the trick is learning from them. You might make the same mistake a dozen times before you understand what your doing wrong. Or to rephrase, what the deer are doing in relation to what your doing. That's cool. Try and soak it all in. That's the fun.
The learning curve for this sport isn't a week or two, it's a lifetime, which is why I love the humbling aspect of it.
You will get frustrated but if you but your time in, you will have one of the best experiences of your life. Best of luck.
