Default new to hunting looking for advice - massachusetts

I am looking for someone in massachusetts ( South shore area mainly) to give me some advice or tips on both coyote and deer hunting. I have gone through all the proccesses of getting my hunting liscense, FID card, buying a bow, and joining a gun club, and now am looking to get my first kill. I am interested in hunting deer and coyote. I have bought all the things that i can think of: ground blind, cover scent, full camo suit, and duck boots, ext. I have access to about 20 acres private land in which i spend the majority of last october sitting in a blind waiting for a deer to come along. I have subscribed to numberous magazines and bought dvds on coyote and deer hunting. I come from a family of non-hunters, but i have always had a passion for the outdoors. Im very eager to take in knowledge and to experience my first "real" hunt. The main reason i am posting this is because i am looking for some one to share their knowledge and experience with me. It sucks living in mass with all the anti-hunters. Previous to finding this site i had posted an add on craigslist but got probobly 20+ anti hunting responeses. I live about 30 mintues north of plymouth and 20 minutes south of boston. I know that coyote season ends this saturday (march 7th) so if anyone plans on going and feels like letting me tag along it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading this and i hope to get some responses!

Hunting in Mass is tough sometimes. I have never called in a yote during the season. So I don't have much advice to offer there. Secondly for deer hunting don't tell anyone where you hunt and try and park you vehicle where people can't see you going in. Find your deer bedding spots and what they are eating. Also find trails that intersect. At the beginning of the season they will be feeding heavy and if you have any acorns dropping or hidden apple trees this is a great place. Set your blind up halfway between and hope they come down the trail. If the food source is on a neighboring propertyfind the travel routes to it. I usually hunt fields but do have some propertys that I hunt the ridges they me coming down to feed. another good thing to do is drive around and watch for the trails in the snow. With alot of the antis around wait until the deer start to eat the four hundred dollar shrubs and then approach the land owner and ask permission. Tell them you may be able to help them with the destruction the deer are doing on the property
