"This is the sport where men that are 50, 60, 70 lbs overweight can go into the woods with a 30-rack of Coors and an ounce of marijuana and still be successful, right? "

Is this really your attitude towards hunters? Safety is the most important thing. Lawbreakers and drunks are not welcome and will end up talking with a LEO.

To answer your first question:
!) Take a hunter safety course
2) Make sure you have permission to hunt on the property
3) Find a place where deer move through and sit quietly downwind
4) Forget about gadgets and pay attention to noises and the wind
5) Respect the traditions of hunting, other hunters, and the game
