Get yourself something like this to sit on. They are lightweight and easily portable: https://www.amazon.com/REDCAMP-Lightweight-Portable-Shoulder-Traveling/dp/B07KP8ZZR4 get some of the scent hiding spray like dead down wind. Anything upwind may/may not smell you but down wind is definitely going to smell you within archery range, nothing you can really do about it. So make sure when you are set up you are set up downwind from the where you anticipate anything coming. Try your best to be as still as possible. I recommend getting to wherever you are planning to sit about an 30 mins to an hour prior to shoot light and just be as still and quiet as possible.
Boots on the ground. You'll learn a lot by just going out and sitting in the woods. Animals are om schedules and most of them are pretty reliable.
For example. The Turkey in the area I hunt roost between 715-745 and leave the root around 620 to 650. Guess where I'll be?
During the offspring I track for fun. I picked up this book which was super helpful and fun to use.

These boots with gaiters have been amazing. Get them at REI. Walk 100 miles. If you decide don’t like. They take them back no questions.
