RE: Tried ground hunting yesterday need a little help
When i still hunt the 1st thing I do is clear all the leaves around my feet. Clear out a good area that way when you do move you won't be crunching leaves. I would find a good spot where there are some trails present.
You might try to get out earlier if you can. Make sure that you are scent free and facing the direction the wind is blowing. Scent control is critical when you are on the ground.
Are you seeing signs of deer in the area?
