Go shoot enough to make sure you are competent to hit your target. Don't worry so much about camo, attractant scents, calls, treestands,etc.
Do pay attention to scent. Keep your hunting clothes separate from the rest of your clothes, I keep mine in a compression storage bag. Wash them with just baking soda, or you can spend money on commercial camo detergents if you want. Pick up a bar of scent free soap and a stick of scent free deodorant from a sporting goods store. Use these right before going afield. Once you get to the general hunting area spray yourself and your stuff down with some earth scented cover spray, this stuff isn't fool proof, you still will want to pay attention to where the wind is blowing.
Pick out a spot that you want to hunt. Where is the wind likely to be coming from? Where are the deer likely to be coming from, do these factors work together in your favor? Have you seen deer sign right in this area? Are there deer trails shooting distance from here? Ideally you want to look for an area where deer are "funneling." One of my favorites is a narrow stretch of woods between two large fields where there is a lake at the end of the woods, the deer always go through the woods from either field or up the mountain if you get the idea. You will want to see if there is any coverage where you want to sit. If there is already usable coverage there great! If not build yourself a blind. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, ground blinds are good because they conceal any accidental movement. My favorite kind of blind can get a little expensive but I like one made out of hay bales and just throw a piece of OSB over the top and you have a blind you can even hunt in through moderate rain. Doesn't have to be anything that fancy though can be as simple as some brush, burlap material and some rope work wonders too, just want to break up your outline.
Camo isn't important, you will probably be covering it with blaze orange anyway. Make sure to take a comfortable seat with you to the blind and concentrate on sitting still rather than what you are wearing. Don't worry about calls and attractant scents, they will hurt you more than help you starting out. Instead look for signs of deer presence and wait. I highly recommend getting a pair of duck hunting decoy gloves, keep them in your backpack and use them when you gut the deer, when you get done your hands will be clean and dry, carry a plastic shopping bag to put the bloody gloves in.
Here is a list of things that I would carry in my backpack:
-snacks
-water
-gloves
-decoy gloves
-knife
-plastic bag
-flashlight
-reading material (it will help you stay on stand longer, rather have one sneak in and surprise me than be headed home and miss it completely)
-hand warmers
-bag of small cleaning patches, of something else to use to mark blood spots when tracking deer.
-cigarette lighter
-rope
-toilet paper
Of course this list is not all inclusive, just a quick run down for local day hunts. Hope this helps.
