First thing I would suggest is, if you haven't already done it,is take a hunters safety course. You will learn an awful lot of good info, and in most cases is required if you were not born before a certain year. If you have, good for you. Next, I would suggest reading any and all material you can get your hands on about deer hunting. And then, I would find somebody who can teach you the basics. It is much easier to learn from somebody who has already learnedmistakes, than learning them all yourself. Good luck, and don't be affraid to ask lots of questions.

your gona need gear to. i dont no where u live or what u hunting seasons are but ill give u my run down of gear. first clothes, i wear a pair of real tree camo coveralls abd a nice hat to keep my head warm. you also might want to have a neck protection because i for one hate cold wind on my neck. i also were a pair of gloves. somtimes though i only where them on my stock hand and leave my trigger hand free of and obstructions that way i dont slip on the trigger. next you need feet protection i dont no where u live but i where boot that cabelas makes that go 12 inches high so i dont roll my anxle out in the feild. i dont suggest wearing tennis shoes. and you can just wear jeans and a tee shirt or sweeter under that clothes. next weapons if u dont already have one. since in iowa i use a shotgun. now where u live u maybe able to use a high powered rifle i dont no. but im sure someone u hunt with or u already have a firearm. next a good pair of binocullars if u are gona be hunting in opens areas. range finders are optionally and not needed.if u plan to stay in the stand all day bring water and some sort of food. thats about all i can tell u on gear.

Check your local library for deer hunting books - then start looking around hunting areas you might use for deer sign.

In MN where i am you cant use rifles but i do have shotguns and i could slip on a slug barrel on it. I would just have to get the deer a little closer.
