You have access to property. A legal firearm that youvshoot reasonably well, I presume. Dont worry about camo, just wear your normal greys, greens,blacks and browns jeans and some boots. Sneakers work if it's dry. Go out to the property for a walk. I will assume that you know what deer tracks and poop looks like. If not google it. Walk slowly and quietly through the area and look for sign. When you find sign set down next to a tree or bush and wait for about 30 minutes. Then continue your walk. When you find the area that you can hunt that has the most sign youbwill know where to hunt.
You mentioned some fields in your OP. Search the edges first for trails to start on and pick the. One that is most used. Spread some corn around in a couple of places and aee which one gets hit the hardest. Put corn back as often as it disappears.
Just find a vantage point where you can see your corn from upwind. Wind is the most important factor. Find an area where there is already some deer activity and it will not take them long to find free corn. Deer are democrats.
From there the deer will teach you how to hunt. Just watch them, a deer will wiggle its tail before its lifting its head from feeding so you will be warned when not to move.

Review
1. Find where they normally travel
2. Find vantage point in range upwind
3. Add some bait if legal
4. Sit still
5. Shoot a deer. In the beginning dont worry about hunting monster bucks. Learn to be successful first and enjoy the experience. We dont hunt to kill, we kill to have hunted. Anything else is just a walk in the woods.
Arise,kill,eat.
