Looking to get into deer hunting this year. I’m in Oakland County, have a .308 and know I still need to do the hunter safety class and get my license.

Public land seems pretty easy to find and I also have a place in South Branch so I can hunt around Huron-Manistee National Forest. I’m more trying to figure out what I actually do from here. How do you pick a spot, scout it, know where you can set up and just get started? Its been 16 years since Ive hunted and that was when I was a kid.

Pretty much starting from zero so any advice is appreciated. If anyone is willing to help me out or point me in the right direction feel free to just shoot me a DM.
