Look for guys that are in your immediate area and try to learn from them. An internet forum can be decieving, some places around the country are easy to kill deer, some very hard. Some guys hunt fences, some hunt public. You need to look for successful hunters in your neck of the woods and pick their brain for info. The most successful hunters in my area all have 2 things in common 1) they have hunted the same ground for years and 2) they spend an enormous amount of time in the woods. IMO, those are the most importatant factors to success, 1) know your deer and their habits, 2) spend the time in the most likely ambush spots.

Good luck and keep at it.
