Based on the data you collected, choose your primary spot and backup locations. There is always a chance another hunter will beat you to your spot, or you may come up dry and want to change locations for day two of your hunt. If you aren't feeling good about any of them, consider getting out to more locations before the season if you have time. Prior to hunting, ensure your rifle is sighted in and ready to go. Bring enough ammo, wear appropriate clothing, and any gear you will need if you are successful. For my spot this year (pics to follow) I needed to bring 7 rounds of ammo per rifle (2 rifles, one for my long range spot and one for the brush if I went to my backup location), knife, ranging notepad, GPS, DEET, chapstick, static climbing rope, ascender, belay device, hunting license, other form of ID, etc. Your gear list will almost certainly be different, I went wacky this year with my spot, but the point is to plan carefully any make sure you know everything you will need, and how you intend on carrying it.
For small game, you will want to hunt at different times depending on species so do some research. For deer you may recall I said they are most active at dusk and dawn. You want to be IN your spot, rifle loaded and on safe at least an hour before legal hunting light (listed in your hunting book from when you got your license). Be quiet, and have some fun. If you aren't successful, there is always next year.
By the way, do some research on proper field dressing for whatever game species you are targeting; and legal tagging requirements in your area. Obviously you can assume I recommend you go for deer first, small game is a blast too but dragging out a deer is special imo.
If you do all the recon I've talked about you are setting yourself up to be successful. Most people don't bother, but most people do not get a deer every year unless they leave field corn in a pile at the back of their property.
