Default My first time hunting - couple questions

Hi all, I was out the last few days for the first time (Northeast PA.) I came out empty handed, but I'll try again next year.
First, I think a tree stand would be the way to go, but is there some measure of rivalry between tree & non-tree hunting?
Second, do all of you use scent-neutral soap & sprays all the time? How important are these?
Third, I've been pretty active in the woods all my life (hiking, canoing), and the only thing I didn't like about hunting was sitting there for 3 hours! I've heard people talk about tracking - and there were TONS of good tracks, but I'd like to learn the finer points of this method. Any good tapes out there?
Finally, how long would you stay put in your spot before changing location?
Thanks,
Eric
