Be patient

Dont get out of the tree stand until absolutely necessary. The minute you do, you'll probably see a deer.

Go slow walking back to camp. I've seen plenty of deer as I was in a hurry to get back for lunch.

Be vewy bewy quiet. Wear orange until you are up in your stand. Prepare as if you think you may get lost and spend 3 days on foot trying to locate civilization. Flashlight, cell phone, water purification, compass, etc.
I'm a woodsman and have to rescue someone every year.
Carry plenty of ammo in case you have to squeeze off 3 round lost/help signals.

Get to your stand an hour before sunrise or so and stay put until at least 9:30am. Put your orange back on when heading out. monster
One shot, one kill.
Dont shoot anything with spots. Confirm you are not aiming at an illegal buck (spike or less than a 6pt, etc.)
Know the state laws or rules of the club property.
Break either and you are so screwed.
Invest in "unscenting yourself" products. A deer can smell you from a mile away.
Presuming you are after horns 1st & meat 2nd then:
Study terrain days ahead for scrapes/signs of rutt.
Dont freak when the does frolic about. Be patient and Wait for big boy to step out from hiding after he is convinced it is safe. Have your safety off, finger Outside of trigger guard until ready to take aim & kill. Aim for just behind the front shoulder if he/she is 50 yards or more out. If closer place your shot between the eyes. You will experience a feeling of complete Rush with adrenalin.
Wait and breathe it all in and confirm your target is down to stay. Many times the herd is so stunned that you can get off another shot or two depending on if you need the meat or what the laws are.

Too many stories of a herd of hogs chasing you up a tree while your rifle is still on the ground leaning up against the tree. At least in my area its happened plenty of times over the years. So strap on a backup pistol.

If you can. Travel against the wind. So they cant smell you as easily.

Get high early.

Get comfortable and clear an area where you can move your feet and butt without making noise.

Glass the sides of the canyons.

On steep shots, aim low.

Have a topo map with roads, and a compass or GPS.

#1 you must site in your rifle and know what the bullet will do @ yardage for the load.
#2 The farther you get off the beat and path the better.
#3 Deer avoid being in direct sunlight.Think shade &north slopes.
#4 Deer don't move around much during day light during hunting season,pray for heavy storms .Optics/see them first or you will never see them.
#5 The deer tend to stay @ higher elevations until weather moves them.
#6Deer leave sign so you must find deer scat and look for brush that has been browsed .
#7 I hunt alone and never wear blaze orange but if you are going on the weekend with friends I would.
#8 Bucks go nocturnal and they move @ night. Think first light and last light.
#9 Bucks roost high during the day. They will always lay down in a saddle in shade with good vantage or on a ridge ...in shade. They always will have many escape routes from their roost.
#10 I always carry a shooting rest of some kind one shot one kill know the vital area to hit.
