Patience and persistence it will all come in do time.
I'm 50+ and have hunted nearly 35 years. Only took 5 years to learn and stay put, then I started killing deer. Before that I got antsy and would move pushing deer to others (at least someone was killing deer). Also back in the day if it was brown, it was down (does, bucks, yearlings), now a days I have much more time and am more selective (bucks only). Nothing huge but many respectable deer.
As for hunting in our area, I'm within 1/2 mile of 200,000 acres of public land and even though I hunt my own property I have helped put people in some decent areas where they have killed deer (just remember, patience and persistence).
Archery is the best time, even though range is limited, deer are calm and gearing up for rut (late Oct and early Nov). Once rifle season opens deer are pushed in every direction.
I'm located near State College, about 3-4 hr's from Wilmington.
