Default RE: New to hunting. Need a little help.

Are you going to be rifle(or shotgun) or Bow hunting?
This means alot when deciding on stand placement and also the path you will take to get to the stand.
I would spend a little time there now in the early mornings and evenings with a pair of binoculars watching from as far away as possible and keeping notes on what you see and what they are doing. Movement, paths, sex, numbers, ect. Get a topographical map of the area to help or shoot digital pictures for reference.

Once you see a pattern of movement then you need to plan on where to place the stand to get a shot at your buck. Rifle placement is obviously going to be a bit farther away than if you are using a bow.

Let us know some more particulars.
