New Guy
Welcome from Vermont!
Sounds like you are going to have fun hunting. Moving slowly is just one thing that you have to learn but remember even moving slowly can get you seen by a deer. Their eyes are assume! The trick is to see them before they see you. I always keep my eyes moving all the time looking for a flicker of white where it is not supposed to be. A color in the wrong place, a shape or silhouette of a deer. Also listen closely for a twig breaking or any sound at all. Deer move quietly so you have to be quieter then they are. Scent is also very important. Eliminate as much of your scent as you can with all the items available to do it with. One of the biggest things to be aware of is the wind! You must know what directions it is blowing in. Stay downwind of the area you want to observe. A deer can smell you half a mile away.
Others here will tell you more things to do or not to do but most of all learn all you can and enjot yourself. Also be safe out there.
