Run and gun or sit patient?
what is your style? i have always been taught to be very patient if you know birds are in the area. don't keep moving around, chasing birds, but rather hold tight and stick to your plan. It has always worked for me, but admittedly, i am no expert. I do seem to consistently get a bird on opening day.
interestingly, I could not get a bird to leave his strut zone the other day, so i was forced to get up and go after him. I was able to cut through the woods and get on him nicely, but that is an unusual strategy for me. many folks i know, can't sit still to save their life. they run and gun the whole time. some are successful, most are not.
what's your style and opinion on the two?
