Still learning every trip.
There is no magic formula you just have to read and soak in as much info you can and get out there and try to you find something that works.
Hard thing to learn is when get somewhere is don't tear off like a madmen and put your scent everywhere look for sign and come back at the right time of day.
Find a couple of spots to hunt and learn the area .
To learn a area you are going to make a lot of trips there most times without success but if you seeing sign or spooking deer you will work it out.
Also remember spots that are easy to get to are hunted often and the deer are cunning and wise to us mere humans.
Somebody on here also had wise words of spend money on fuel to get to the bush rather than flash harry guns and scent free ha ha you cant see me suits.

Yeah I have noticed that of the deer round oamaru. They are much less vocal than the ones further in. They tend to take a bugger off quietly approach rather then a peer round a tree and bark approach
