Learn the white tail deer thru your local libaray or do a goggle search on the net and learn about them Once you learn the critter learn the hunting area the rest is easy.
How to hunt the area can be learned at the local sportsman club listing to old timers talk of their hunts and how they did it.
Keeping it simple is correct. wash and hang hunting clothing well away from the homes scents. I have a 10x10 shed in the back yard just for dressing in hunting clothing and the boots.
I carry a small knife for field dressing.
a camera to take pictures of critters I am not hunting.
A 10"x10" about freezer bag to put the heart in and also as a means to keep the wet wipes, paper towel sheets and bit of TP in. I carry a couple sandwiches in it also. I carry a 2 quart thermos of tea I sip on thru the day. A drag rope is duck taped to the thermos as a carry strap till I need the drag rope 1/4 inch size.
If I am still hunting I carry a set of pruning shears and a folding pruning saw and a coil of small twine in case I want to throw up a tempory blind in a likely place.

I set up a temp. natural blind last night as a matter of fact.
Only problem was it was partly burr bushes with long dried grass.
Had burrs all over me.....lol.
