There was a whole lot of good advice posted here.

Only thing I can add is I know no matter what anyone says,
it just feels different the first time yourself.

We all who have done this before can offer suggestions..
I myself would add a suggestion like "Wait until it stops, dead in it's
tracks then wait till it looks away. Then draw and anchor, 3, 2, 1 squeeze
the release.

That takes years of trial and error to execute but it works every time.

Most offen what happens is you don't have the buck stop and look away
from you, it simply keeps on walking and sometimes looks up at you in
your stand. (not good).

These things happen, more often than not.

When they don't it's golden, it's almost garunteed.

Long storey short, if you have the time to sense the animals approach
as being relaxed and calm, browsing, unwary.

You stand a very good chance for a close, broadside shot at close range.

If the animal comes in fast and happens to look toward you upon approach
your chances are worst case for taking a shot.

Especially if it don't stop, as it passes by your stand.

What I'm trying to say here summed up is as a novice it is very
important to notice the body language of the animal before thinking
about drawing on it.
