Try Goldbond, First.
Hunting tips:
1. Noise and movement must be avoided. Get used to sitting motionless and not moving. Use cover like trees and bushes to break up your profile.
2. Pick a good spot, but not a perfect spot (which you'll never find). Try for a spot that you can watch a pretty good area, with some cover between you and the deer so that you can raise your rifle or change your position when they walk behind a tree/brush. Watch trails/paths and areas between dense brush; deer can be like humans, when they walk they like an easier path, too.
3. Once you have a spot, resist the temptation to move for a better view, etc. You'll just make noise and the new spot probably won't be much better.
4. Wait for a good shot. While they are standing still or barely moving. Moving shots are difficult, and running shots are worse. If you wound it you gotta track it, and gut shots are no fun when you cut it open.
5. Don't be surprised when a deer appears. It will often be like a ghost -- all of the sudden a deer (or two) will appear seemingly out of nowhere. If the deer is stopped and looking around, you'd better freeze like a statue. They will often twitch their tails right before they stop and look around.
6. Deer like to hang out together. If you see one, there is probably another one (or more) in the area. So if the first deer you see moves away or doesn't offer a good shot, wait (quiet and no movement, remember) for another to pop out of nowhere.
7. You don't need to spend a fortune for the best gear made. Just have good, warm, waterproof and breathable (gore tex) stuff that will keep you comfortable when it rains/snows. Get good boots and gloves.
Those are the best I can think of right now.
