One other thing, them bama deer are some little buggers for the most part so practice shooting at lower targets.
I have a whole line of scent control stuff I use up here for black bear that would probably work. I typically wash and spray my clothes with enzyme killer and then seal them in a tub with some spruce. Wash with scent free soap before leaving the house and keep my clothes sealed until I'm in the woods.

My biggest issue is land access. A lot more of the lower 48 is private than up here. Probably gonna be some issues I assume.
