Get out there and make it happen

First and foremost, for those who are beginners/newbies to the activity of deer hunting, the most important piece of advice when trying to capture/kill your first deer of the season is to actually get out in the field and make it happen. You won't accomplish your goal of capturing/killing your first deer if your sitting at home watching football or laying in bed. In other words, procrastination will kill your chance at improving your deer hunting skills. Even if you don't capture or kill a deer your first time hunting, at least you can say you had the guts to wander out into the wilderness and tried to make it happen.

Dress and pack appropriately

Secondly, it's important when going out for your first deer hunting adventure to dress and pack appropriately. This means wearing the right clothing such as a camouflaged jacket/outfit as well as high-grade boots which will make your travels through the bush and forests that much easier. Furthermore, it's important to pack extra clothing if you know that you will be hunting during night when the temperature is cooler or if you are hunting during the winter season as you will be susceptible to frost bite which will make your first time hunting very unsatisfying. Moreover, it's also important to pack the right amount of food and water in your backpack so as to prevent yourself from becoming hungry or dehydrated which can decrease your concentration (not ideal if you come across a deer and have little time to take a shot).

Cheap tools is a big no

Thirdly, another tip for individuals who are new to deer hunting is to make sure that your tools such as the knife you will use to gut the deer (if you do end up successfully capturing/killing one) are not dull, made of cheap materials and are top-notch quality. Nothing is worse than going to gut a deer and not being able to cut into it because your knife is too dull.

Know the basics of how to shoot a gun

Last but not least, it is absolutely vital for anyone looking to shoot and kill their first deer to know the basics of how to operate the gun safely thus preventing any possibility of injury or even accidental death. Furthermore, being able to judge the distance from your target as well as wind speed and the time of travel to hit your target are big factors when attempting to capture/kill your first deer of the season.Add paragraph text here.
