IM a fairly new hunter so if anyone has some tips about whitetail let me know.

Welcome, just keep reading, you'll learn plenty.

get in you treestand 1/2 hour before sun rise and stay there without moving for 5 straight hours.

thats the best tip i can seriously give someone.

asklots of questions and read lots i started in the same place 3 years ago the reading and talking cant compare to real life experience but it gives you somewheree to start. good luck and anything you learn post so i can learn with you

Only been at it 2 years myself and learning more all the time. If you can find an experienced hunter to tag along with that really helped me. I also do a lot of reading, but like they mentioned nothing can better teach you then time in the woods. You're also not going to get chances if you aren't out their in the woods. Put in the time and you'll eventually get your shot.

WIND, know it, respect and use it to your advantage. Whitetails default to their nose if they get a wiff you canwatch theflag waving bye bye! Spent lots of time knowing your equipment, hunting grounds and animals. Preperation has been my biggest contributor to success with all game animals. I spent far less time hunting then getting ready to hunt and while hunting i am continuely scouting looking for spots within the spot. Experience, it is great to read or research stuff, whichwill surely help, but nothing equals actual hands on time. Hunting is no different then any other sport, hobby, etc the more you do the better you become!

Like already said hooking up with a mentor in your area is a great way to learn.

I think the first thing new hunters need to do is see deer move in the woods. If you are totally green to hunting then the best advice I can give you is in three steps. First, find some land and get permission, whether privet or public, get some land to hunt. Second, after you have a few spots go out and walk all over the land and look for sign like tracks and old rubs. Try to find a trail or a natural funnel that the deer would need to take, but just try to find evidence of deer in the area. Third, after you have good sign like lots of tracks on a trail or an area try to get as far from the area as you can, but still see real good and watch the spot in the morning and evening as much as you can to see when the deer are using it, study the deer and there habits. Third, if you find a good spot close in and set up on it with a tree stand or ladder stand or something and try to hunt it. If I tell you all about the other stuff it will just be to much and put you in over load. after you have a spot you will learn more and continue to ask questions. But first you must at least find some deer and get set up IMO.

read as much as you can then go out and learn from mistakes

Yeah! EVERYBODY here is an EXPERT. If you don't believe it, just ask.LMAO!!!!!

Dress your kill ASAP, rinse cavity with clean water and get the temp consistently going down.
