First bow hunt of the season

Headed out on my first personal attempt at a California mule deer with a bow. Any tips, tricks or general archery pointers??

Use the wind and cover to your advantage, stay hydrated if your hunting when its hot. Aim small , miss small!

Thanks! Actually got on a really tall, neat looking 2 x 3. Two friends that I was hunting with kicked him out of some cover and he came running straight at me, I stood up to take about a 35 yd shot and flipped him around back into some trees. Then, we put the stalk on a small group of does hoping there was a buck with them, no luck. But a 275-300lb pig came walking out, got within 50 yds of him when a friend across the hill flung a 60-70 yd arrow and missed. I shot about a foot over his back. Great time though, think I can get into this!

I think it may be very convenient. You can easily compare prices in different countries and find your dream hunting. Your opinion is highly needed!
