There have already been some great tips posted your way.  I would add to be ever mindful of the wind.  Keep it in your face.  If you always hunt into the wind you have defeted the whitetail's primary line of defense.  In areas of dense deer populations there are lots of trails....but only a few that show the signs of daily heavy use... like someone has been using a rotor tiller on them....  Deer walk the same trails just like we use streets and roads in our neighborhoods.  Set up on one of those heavy traffic areas between his bedroom and the refrigerator and you got a shot at taking him...or her.  They are all trophies with a trad bow.   
     Oh, and pick a small spot low on the body.  A deer's first escape move is straight down, usually.  Like a runner dropping into the starting blocks.  I had to miss about a half dozen deer before I realized this.   Keep us posted!  I am sure you will do fine.   ;)
