The best thing any hunter (new or experienced) can do for themselves is spend time in the woods. Watch deer. Learn what they're doing. Learn where they're going. Why they're going there.
You can do this all year long. You'll start to see things and notice things as you gain more experience.
Woodsmanship is a skill that has to be practiced and honed. One of the things I think allot of new hunters today miss out on. Many people only hunt deer now. And allot of them only hunt deer out of their one tree stand or blind set up over their one food plot. And they kill deer this way-even big ones- every year and there's no problem with that.
But allot of them wouldn't know what to do if you sat them down in the middle of the "big woods" somewhere. Just the nature of hunting has changed. But it's skills you can work on and hone all year long. You'll learn as you go. You can read and get tips like people are giving you here. But you really can't shortcut the process.
Time in the woods.
