Here's a tip, don't be discouraged when deer see you before you see them. You really have to learn how to spot deer that are not moving. Once you get a knack for it things are easier. I know I'm moving at the right pace when squirrels don't pay any attention to me. The thicker the woods, the slower you need to move. Every step opens up new views. Still-hunting is far more entertaining than stand hunting, and both methods will pay off.
Pretty cool when you see something 30 yds away that looks like a bedded buck, and it turns out that's what it really is.
