Don't worry too much about gadgets, camo, or scent control. Concentrate on being as quiet as you can while moving, try to hunt into the wind if possible, and spend a lot more time looking through binoculars than walking.
Make sure you have fired several rounds through the actual rifle you will be using on the hunt, both to get used to the feel of it and check the zero.
When you get a shot, place the crosshairs where you want the bullet to strike - halfway up the body in line with the elbow is a good place as any to aim if you get the chance - and gently squeeze the trigger, trying to remain as relaxed as possible (easier said than done on your first hunt).
Most of all, enjoy the whole experience. Best of luck.
